similar to: Mounting swap fails in domU (badiane)

I have resolved my mysql problem it had to do with an improperly configured host file. My most pressing problem is why mounting swap fails in all my domU''s. My disks are LVM based. /dev/xen/www_swap for example it the (duh!) swap space for the www domain and exported from the xen file as disk = [ ''phy:xen/www,sda1,w'' , ''phy:xen/www_swap,sda2,w'' ] I

Hi guys. DomU config disk = [ ''phy:/dev/xen00/debian5-base,sda1,w'', ''phy:/dev/xen00/debian5-swap,sda2,w'', ] ----------------------- mkswap /dev/xen00/debian5-swap But in domU in booting: Activating swap...failed. What wrong? -- Best Regards, alex.faq8@gmail.com

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.ml b/resize/resize.ml index fbb2d021b..48c75161d 100644

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

hello I''m using the 2.6 series 5 vservers on eth1 running on debian unstable and I wanted two of them to be used as "proxies". One of the proxies has 3 interfaces (well 4 if you count the ath0 interface whose traffic I''d like to pass through the "vproxy"); one facing the hosts''/out interface, one facing the "dmz" where two vservers

I tried to create some swap files in /dev directory for my desktop. the dd and mkswap were ok. but when I try to swapon it, i get this: # swapon /dev/myswap swapon: /dev/myswap: Invalid argument but when I mv the file to some other directory like /mnt or /, the swapon works. could sb. tell me why? -- Tang Jianwei

I just add a partition /dev/sdb3 and use "mkswap /dev/sdb3" to make it swap space. How can I label the /dev/sdb3 like "SWAP-sdb3"? what I want is put on /etc/fstab as entry like: LABEL=SWAP-sdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-sdb3 swap swap defaults 0 0 Thanks

Hello, I'm in a slightly unusual situation and I'd really appreciate some advice. I installed CentOS 5.2 on a server about a month ago. Today I happened to check the 'free' command and noticed that the Swap line reads as follows: Swap: 0 0 0 I'm pretty certain that when I installed the OS and created a custom partition table, that I defined a

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, the swap is intended for a virtual machine, and the

I've looked through the FAQ and can't find anything about this. I'm working on a Sun machine, running Solaris 2.7. I'm a new R-user; have been using Splus for millenia, and finally decided it was time I got going with R. So I downloaded R, installed it, fiddled about a bit, and found that command-line editing was absent. Scrounging through the documentation some more, I saw it

Hi. I am new to CentOS (Debian user) and I am looking for way how to install CentOS 5 on domU in the way that I have it directly on dom0 LVM partition. If I install it with virtual-manager then the installation program takes that partition as a disk and then creates new partitions on it. I don''t want it that way because I cannot then mount it from dom0. Is there some way how to
