[Xen-users] "mount: unknown filesystem type ''LVM2_member''"
Hi, trying to convert a VMware Linux installation to a XEN VM, I copied the harddisk image. I was expecting problems, but this is what I got: ------------snip # xm create -c vm2 Using config file "/etc/xen/vm/vm2". /dev/hda: No medium found mount: unknown filesystem type ''LVM2_member'' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py", line 495, in ? main(sys.argv) File "/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py", line 489, in main sxpr = copyKernelAndInitrd(fs, kernel, initrd) File "/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py", line 397, in copyKernelAndInitrd part.mount() File "/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py", line 241, in mount raise RuntimeError("domUloader: Error %i from mount %s %s on %s" % \ RuntimeError: domUloader: Error 8192 from mount -o ro /dev/mapper/loop0p2 on /var/lib/xen/tmp/sda2.y8hPAK Error: Boot loader didn''t return any data! ------------snip Now, does that mean LVM is unavailable with XEN? I was also hoping a Dom0 LVM LV could be used as disk in DomU (which would be managed by LVM there in turn). Did anybody try somehting like that already?
