[Xen-users] Windows XP filesystem corruption when using device-mapper ?

[Peter Van Biesen <peter.vanbiesen@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm currently running windows XP without the gplpv drivers. At nearly every 
reboot, some directory or another gets corrupted on the filesystem. I found bug 
1363, which talks about gplpv and lvm, but maybe gplpv is not the problem here, 
maybe it is the ioemu that is at fault.

Anyway, I had a lot of problems with gplpv on lvm. When I used the plain disk, 
windows would boot and run, but sometimes it would want to do a disk check on 
reboot. Letting it do that would corrupt the fs again. Beware: when I talk 
about 'plain disk', I mean a device mapper device created by the multipath 
daemon. So the dm module is still in between it.

I Haven't tried using a real plain disk ( a disk actually in the server ). 

The dom0 is running on a 2.6.18, maybe it is a bug in the devicemapper of this 
old version ?

Does anybody have the same experience using multipath/lvm/device mapper ?

Kindest regards,

Peter.
