Hi, Does Xen HVM support the the "disk" option that can attach a FAT partion or a floppy image like the qemu? In qemu, we can do it with the option "-hda fat:/root/tmp/" and "-fda /root/floopy.img". Any reply is appreciated. Thanks, Bei Guan _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

Hi, As someone new to puppet I''m trying to work out the best way to manage different filesystems and logical volumes on different servers. Specifically I would like to be able to define on a series of nodes different LVM logical volumes to create and mount. I''m trying to do this at the moment with a define of the following type: # Manage a partition and create if needed.

We have upgraded a box from 6.2 to 6.3-RELEASE. Afterwards the box does not recognize its ST Lab I-160 serial card with Netmos 9845 Chipset. It worked flawlessly on 6.2 with puc(4) driver. >From dmesg: pci1: <simple comms, UART> at device 8.0 (no driver attached) ~# pciconf -l -v | grep -B 4 UART none2@pci1:8:0: class=0x070002 card=0x00041000 chip=0x98459710 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00

I created a 1TB RAID1. So far it is just for testing, no important data on there. After a reboot, I tried to mount it again # mount /dev/mapper/vg00-btrfsvol0_0 /mnt/btrfs0 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/vg00-btrfsvol0_0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or

I am running a Debian Squeeze Xen 4.0.1 Hypervisor and 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 dom0. My xen-tools.conf: lvm = vg00 size = 100Gb # Disk image size. memory = 2048Mb # Memory size swap = 2G # Swap size # noswap = 1 # Don''t use swap at all for the new system. fs = ext4 # use the EXT3 filesystem for the disk image. dist = `xt-guess-suite-and-mirror --suite` # Default

I have searched the list, and don't see this covered or didn't search for the right words. I'm running CentOS 4.8 and have some DVD's for 5.4. I have a lot of customized and additional software installed and would like to avoid starting over with a scratch install. After the upgrade from the DVD I would do a yum upgrade to 5.5. Is this a workable (and safe) thing to do? What

I installed CentOS on my home-server with 2 IDE 160GB MAXTOR HDD / RAID-1, LVM and ext3 partitions. Previous OS on this machine was FC2. I often "play" with LVM and, sometimes, have to extand or reduce some volumes size. I was surprised to see that resize2fs isn''t included anymore ! The replacing tool is ext2online but this one seems to only be able to grow a filesystem (not

I have a machine with two swap partitions (sda2 and sda8). Both will have none as mount point. When I try to use puppet (using mount type) for managing fstab I get problems because "name" in both instances (i.e. mount path) will be "none". How should I fix this within puppet? Regards Halvard Moe

hello all, Hoping for some help on copying Logical Volumes. I would like to copy an existing LV to a newly formed LV. I don't want to do a snapshot of an existing LV. Only way I've seen is to mount the to LV and: mount /dev/vg00/lv00 /mnt/orig mount /dev/vg00/lv01 /mnt/copy cd /mnt/orig tar cf - ./ |(cd /mnt/copy; tar xf - ) Is there a LV tool to do this? Or an option used with

I am trying to install CentOS from an ISO image file but the installer does not see a CD-ROM drive. The VNC viewer works but the CentOS installer indicates "Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installation type." Then it prompts with "[Select driver] [Use a driver disk] [Back]". I have tried several variations of the "disk" paramater, all

Hi, I am using CIFS 2.01.01 on HPUX11V2. CIFS is running in ADS security-mode. Winbind is used to map the userers from the W2K3-Domain (german) to an tdb-file. The user mapping works fine, but I have problems with the ACLS: setting the ACLS to a file or folder from windows leads in "access denied". I'm the owner of the object and have full access. The really crazy thing is,

Dear all, I''ve installed Xen 3.0.1 on my laptop and dom0 is boot normaly execpt it''s could not using X, i haven''t trying to boot guest OS. my laptop configuration is Toshiba Portege R150 with Debian Sarge on it. And then I installed same version of Xen into our server with Debian Sarge and Kernel 2.4. Booting dom0 is not success , xen always trying look dor NFS root and

I tried to start a linux hvm domain (just for testing some things compared to a pv domain), and it didn''t start up. I then did a ''xm shutdown'', which didn''t work, then a ''xm destroy'', and from then the ''xm list'' function just hung. I then restarted xend, and ''xm list'' works, but now when I try to start the

This is happening on anything other than plain vanilla Dell servers. One R730, with dual Tesla cards, one R420, with a fibre card for a RAID device, it never switches root. All these systems have Xeons, not AMD CPUs. We've had this with every one of the 327 kernels. In addition, it seems to happen also with the 229.20.1; the 229.14.1 has no such problem. >From the rdsosreport: starting

Hi all, I love syslinux!! It works great. Problem. GHost 8.x and higher... With ghost 7.5 and earlier I was able to boot floppy images from my tftp server. But as you all know Ghost 8.x and higher had a bloated ghost.exe that does not fit on a single 1.44mb floopy image file. Has any one had any luck in getting ghost 8.x and higher to work with syslinux and memdisk? I have tried to create over

First let me say that I'm not a sysadmin, but am simply wearing that hat this week so please excuse my ignorance. I need to temporarily move some virtual servers from a CentOS-KVM platform to a CentOS-XEN platform while I do some upgrades to the CentOS box. I've created a local LV, and used DD and SCP to transfer the block device from the VKM machine to the XEN machine. For quite a

I have full virtualized CentOs with disks ike this ------------- /dev/vg00/lv_root / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 --------------- I try change my it to paravirtualized, but after reboot I got kernel panic, because /dev/vg00/lv_root wansn''t found. ----------------- this is my grub

I did something stupid when setting up a server which is now live. I think I'm stuck. I set up swap on Raid1 which is decidedly non-optimal. I'd prefer 2 independent swap partitions at the same priority. Here is the set up: /dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1 -> md0 (raid1) md0 -> VolGroup00 VolGroup00 -> VG00LV00(/), VG00LV01(/home), VG00LV02(swap) I've gotten as far as : Turning

hello, i am a newbie to this list and i don't know if this has been posted before (if so, plzz accept my apologies) i just noticed a nice mini-howto on ext2-ext3 conversion at http://www.symonds.net/~rajesh/howto/ext3/index.html i think that maybe a link can be added to this after the download section... cheers Sayamindu *********************************************************************
