RE: [Xen-users] Building from Source
Jon,
As I mentioned - the disk line seems to have no effect on whether or not the
DomU boots. Even with no disk line, I get the same results. The loop device
was just a temporary contrivance for testing, but is definitely not the cause
of the issue.
Thank You,

Hello Nathan,
Why are you trying to use one of the loop devices for your disk? I
only ask in case there is a reason. I may be wrong but when you create
a file based disk for Xen then use that in a domu when you create the
domu it mounts that file on the loop device. I think what you want to
do is create a file to use as the disk then reference that file in
your domu config file.
I usually use lv's as disks but I think to create a file for use as a
disk would be something like this:
This would create a 4GB "disk"(file).
dd if=/dev/zero of=/vms/vm_disk bs=1M count=1 seek=4095
You would then want to use mkfs.<filesystem> to put a file system on the file.
e.g.
mkfs.ext3 /opt/xendrives/vm_disk
Then in your domu you would use that as the file: device instead of loop0.
On a side note, if you have lv's they are better than file based and
easier to manage.
Hope that helps,
Jon
