Hello,
this subject came up yesterday in ##xen@freenode.net
In an Ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) domU, using /dev/xvda in
------------- mavU.cfg ---------
disk = [ "phy:/dev/VG/mavU,xvda,w" ]
#
------ snip cfg ------
leads to
`rootfs not found` errors and the domU will not finish booting.
However, changing xvda->sda works, as long as its done in config, fstab, and
perhaps in menu.lst/grub.cfg, unless blkid''s are used.
What''s really happening here?
---------------
Looking at /proc/devices, specifically block 202, reserved for Xen, you can see
that maverick has `sd`, not `xvda`.
My question is, is this a bug or a feature?
It has come a handful of times in irc channel, but I''ve seen no
discussion anywhere else.
Any ideas why suddenly Ubuntu did this? Lucid follows the tradition and uses
xvda. Is this controlled in udev or kernel, or both?
