I'm having a very strange problem. I have a fully patched sles11 server
running xen 3.4. Because of problems I've been having with ocfs2, I
added another local disk to this server (still from our SAN). I
formatted the disk using ext3. 

When I copy my Windows domU's to this new drive, they only boot one
time. If I try to restart the domU, it's like it can't find the boot
partition.

If I run the exact domU off my ocfs2 volume it works fine, reboots, etc.
It also works if I copy it to my sles10sp2 server. In both of these
cases the storage is ocfs2.

Anyone have any idea what could explain this? 

Thanks,
James
