RE: [Xen-users] partitions + iscsi = mass confusion

Fajar,

 

Makes sense.  I used to use xvd[x] syntax but when I switched to FC8 as my host some time ago it didn't work so I ended up with sd[x].  I've updated it a few times so I'm sure it probably works now. 

 

Problem is that I have this on a countless number of VM's (plus templates).  If that's what it takes, I guess I will need to do it.

 

I was just hoping there was a simpler way to get around this (like creating a reserved /dev/sda that does nothing or something so that hotplug would skip it.

 

Actually, is there a way to block specific ones in hotplug?  I remember some time ago (probably years now) there was discussion somewhere about setting specific hotplug entries for usb mounts.  I didn't follow it to see if there was ever a resolution.

 

ps: sorry for top post ... OWA

That's probably one of the reasons why Redhat decided to promote the
use of xvda for domU's disks instead of hda or sda :)

Try changing your domU config and fstab to use xvda1, xvda2, etc.

PS: Personally I use hda :P
