Hi all.

Could anyone assist in this issue?

I've just built Fedora and installed Xen and booted fromits kernel.
I have the priviledged domain:

[root@localhost xen]# xm list
Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                           0      884     1 r-----   267.8

When I run xm create, I get a new VM but it doesn't seem to hang around for long. I know its something to do with my "disk" entry in the config file "sr-config1"

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01,hda1,w',
         'phy:/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01,hda2,r' ]

In the line above you have the same logical volume mounted in two places at the same time. That could be your error.
