Hello, I am confused by a warning from mkswap : When making a swap on a LVM volume, I see the following warning : mkswap: /dev/vg_SDB1/swap_test6_64: warning: don't erase bootbits sectors on whole disk. Use -f to force. Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1048572 KiB Is it safe to use mkswap -f in this case ? (If that matters, t...

Avoid passing an empty UUID string to mkswap, which mkswap does not accept (correctly) as new UUID. In addition, print a warning when the UUID of a swap partition changed, since it may require manual fixups in the guest. --- resize/resize.ml | 15 +++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/resize/resize.m...

Has anyone experienced a swap failing to be mounted in domU''s? I created a LVM swap space, ran mkswap and made it available on the same line as the root partition (also on LVM) in each of the domU''s config file. But it fails to be mounted and I''m running without swap space. That wouldn''t be too much of a problem if I had a lot of mem to play with but it''s un...

I just upgraded a blade server via rsync from another server. Rebuilt the initrd. It boots fine... except that it won't turn on the swap partition. Several times, I've made sure swap was off, then mkswap -L SWAP-sda3 /dev/sda3, but when I do swapon -L SWAP-sda3, it complains it can't find the device for the label. The only thing I find while googling, other than redoing what I've done several times now, is an old bug from CentOS 4, 0001399, which affected *only* blade enclosures: the repor...

Hi, I need to understand and to calculate the offset of the beginning of a file within my partition which uses an ext3 filesystem. Can I use dumpe2fs to figure that out, if yes how? Sincerely, William Tambe

...en/www_swap,sda2,w'' ] I created a single PV on /dev/hda5 and it''s 16.77GB. then in that I created a PV named xen within it and subdivided it into 2 LV''s for each of the 3 domU; one for the main storage and one for swap. So I formated the main storage area as XFS and ran mkswap on the {domUname}_swap areas. When I boot the domU it fails. Since this is a test machine (Celeron 1.3GHz, 512MB, 20GB) I''m running some of the apps I''d like to run on a production Xen server.
