Hi Tom,
Thank you very much. You are right, no need to play with losetup stuff, just
mount the logic volume, edit fstab and it works.
BTW, I found one weird thing:
I heard RAMDISK is not required for domU, but it seems I have to add RAMDISK
to my domU config file, otherwiese the domU will hang up when it is booting.
Please see the message below, the domU booting hangs up after
"Continuing..." Do you have any clue for this issue? (xen-friendly glibc is
already installed)
Thanks,
Liang

Subject: Re: [Xen-users] How to create a domU on RedHat Enterprise AS 4.4?
Hi Tom,
I can not even boot my domU, how can I check my domU fstab?
Thanks,
Liang
As far as I see, your partition is on LVM volume
/dev/VG_Dom6_Linux/LogVol00
Under your Dom0 create temporary folder :
# mkdir /mnt/temp
then mount your partition there (assuming it's ext3, if not, add -t option
and
appriopriate fs):
#mount /dev/VG_Dom6_Linux/LogVol00 /mnt/temp -o defaults
All contents will be available under /mnt/temp, so edit
/mnt/temp/etc/fstab.
That's the simplest way. Don't play with losetup, as you already have
partition. Besides losetup is for file-based partitions.
Regards,
