Last time I tried this it also crashed and burned, creating massive
corruption on the block device in the process, so I assumed it was
not possible.
Here's what I did:
- paused the domain
- created new logical volume with exactly the same name/path on other dom0
- used dd to copy the content of original logical volume to the new
one
- copied the xen save file over to new dom0
- restored from this save file
- saw lots of error messages about IO errors and filesystem
inconsistencies, domain then paniced before I could shut it down
so if this is meant to work I'd suggest there are bugs in it.
Cheers,
Andy
