Unfortunately that is not the problem, there is absolutely no partition
table et all. The storage is an aoe lblade vith an lvm volume group on
top of it. On lvm there are a few smaller perfectly working xfs formated
logical volumes and (currently) one bigger (3.7TB) which is working
perfectly on Dom0 both as a logical volume and as a filesystem. However
when I give that logical volume as a physical disk to a DomU that starts
to balk to me about:
attempt to access beyond end of device
hda3: rw=0, want=8283750400, limit=3988783104
I/O error in filesystem ("hda3") meta-data dev hda3 block
0x1edbfffff ("xfs_read_buf") error 5 buf count 512
XFS: size check 2 failed
from my computations I've found that the DomU is "seeing" 1.85TB from
the logical volume it was given.
Thanks.
