I have a working DomU when located on a physical partition (i.e. hdb, a
2nd HD that I'm using to stage guest domains), but it all goes bad when
I copy the root/swap partitions into LVM-based partitions.
Specifically, I have a working guest domain on hdb2 (swap is hdb1). I
created the logical volumes using the usual mix of pvcreate, vgcreate,
and lvcreate:
pvcreate /dev/hda5vgcreate xen-vg /dev/hda5
lvcreate -L5G -n suse-root xen-vg
mkfs.reiserfs /dev/xen-vg/suse-root
cp -ax /<the real parition> /<the new partition> (yes, this seemed
to work as expected)
lvcreate -L256M -n suse-swap xen-vg
mkswap /dev/xen-vg/suse-swap
The only other modification I made was to the start-up script as follows:
< disk = [ 'phy:xen-vg/suse-root,hdb2,w',
'phy:xen-vg/suse-swap,hdb1,w' ]
---
> disk = [ 'phy:hdb2,hdb2,w', 'phy:hdb1,hdb1,w' ]
Now when I start the same domain copied (per the `cp -ax` listed above)
into the LVM I get:
