xen-devel
[Xen-devel] happy happy happy
so very happy. I got xen (mostly) working on gentoo with udev, raid,
and lvm2 under the vm storage. here are the hints (read scar tissue) I
have acquired in the process.
All documentation has been written by the Brothers Grimm including this.
As long as the raid array and lvm2 volumes are not on the standard /,
/usr, ... directories, it doesn't matter whether the modules are
compiled in or loadable. However, if you need them at boot time for any
of the core directories, play it safe and compile them in.
build and verify your raid array first (mdadm and /etc/mdadm.conf is
your friend). Make sure it is discovered appropriately on reboot
create your lvm2 partitions and volume groups per instructions.
install udev
under gentoo, /etc/init.d/createfs will not detect a logical volumes and
raid partitions properly. the startup script detects the logical volume
first and raid second. the only solution is to hack on the script to
reverse this process.
reboot and (in theory) everything should be OK. obviously, verified to
make sure the raid was still detected as well as the logical volumes
(/dev/<vol group>/<partitions>)
how you use this under xen is only for consenting adults.
anyway, the hopefully minor errors that I'm trying to figure out are below:

The result of the duopoly that currently defines "competition" is that
prices and service suck. We're the world's leader in Internet
technology - except that we're not.
