similar to: blktap2: help please?

I''m getting this message (subject line) in daemon.log every time I start or restart xend. I''m not sure if this is related to the fact that I cannot boot up my Windows domU from a VHD file. The Windows domU was working fine with Xen 4.0.0 (with 2.6.32.14 dom0 kernel). When I upgraded to Xen 4.0.1-rc4 (with 2.6.32.16 dom0 kernel), I can no long boot the Windows domU from VHD. The

Hi,  I''m currently stuck with creating VM which cannot boot with disk using blktap2 driver. I''ve been searching nearly a whole week and I couldn''t get a answer. When creating vm with blktap2, it keep shows a error:   libxl: debug: libxl_device.c:200:disk_try_backend: Disk vdev=xvda, backend tap unsuitable because blktap not available.  VM configuration (XML):

Hi,mail list members, As needed by my test, blktap/blktap2 modules have to work after new VMs start.Maybe the line about disk in the vm creation configure file is the right position where I should be supposed to specify the function of blktap/blktap2 modules.But specifically I don''t know how to configure the disk line.Who can help me? hxk

Hi, I''ve been testing Xen 4.0.1 with kernel 2.6.34.5 + http://gentoo-xen-kernel.googlecode.com/files/xen-patches-2.6.34-4.tar.bz2, and one of the things that I noticed immediately is there are two problems with tapdisk and this combination. First, the syntax "disk = [''tap:tapdisk:aio: ..." no longer works. When tested with HVM domU, it boots, but there was no disk

Hello, I have been playing around with Remus on Xen 4.0.1, attempting to fail-over for an HVM domU. I''ve run into some problems that I think could be related to tapdisk2 and its interaction with how one sets up Remus disk replication in the domU config file. A few things I''ve noticed: -The tap:remus:backupHostIP:port|aio:imagePath notation does not work for me, although this

The domU is using pygrub to boot its own 2.6.18.8-xen kernel. It can be booted successfully under 2.6.18.8-xen dom0 and xen 3.3.1. However when upgrade dom0 to 2.6.32.15 and xen 4.0.1-rc3-pre, the domU can not boot with tapdisk. I am wondering it is something related to the blktap driver. *When using tap:aio:* PATH/disk.img in domU disk configuration, the boot process hanged at a prompt: XENBUS:

For those wanting to know how to mount filesystems through blktap2 here is how you do it, as I couldn''t find it fully documented. The instructions on the blktap2 readme file are rather out of date. You can mount them under Dom0 like so. e.g. to mount a vhd file, sudo xm block-attach 0 tap2:vhd:/home/xen/xenwin7-persist.vhd xvdb w 0 Now the device should appear under /dev ls

I''m currently working on moving storage services into their own domain and I''ve been looking at blktap2. I''ve been trying to get an image mounted with blktap2 and for some odd reason and tapdisk2 keeps hanging instead of quitting at the end. I haven''t removed any of the storage startup code at this point so everything should be as it normally is in xen-unstable.

Get blktap2 running on pvops. This mainly adds eventfd support to the userland code. Based on some prior cleanup to tapdisk-queue and the server object. We had most of that in XenServer for a while, so I kept it stacked. 1. Clean up IPC and AIO init in tapdisk-server. [I think tapdisk-ipc in blktap2 is basically obsolete. Pending a later patch to remove it?] 2. Split tapdisk-queue into

Hello, I''m currently trying to understand some problems I had in the past with mixing look-back with blktap(2) for HV and PV domains. I''m stuck reading the source code, so I''d like to get some help from the list. Interrupt me if I got something fundamentally wrong in my understanding so far: 1. With pure-HV the domU gets an emulated IDE (or whatever) disk. The

Hi, Currently i''m going through the source codes of tools/blktap2. I need to find-out where blktap2 calls 1. mem_share_nominate() 2. mem_sharing_share_page() functions to do the memory sharing on HVM guests. Can someone please provide me some guidance on blktap2 driver. Thanks, Harshan _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list

Hello, It seems currently when you "yum update" CentOS 6.6 Xen host you end up getting python-virtinst from c6 base repo: python-virtinst-0.600.0-24.el6.noarch and not from Xen4CentOS repo, because the version there is "older": 0.600.0-19. .. which means the centos/xen-specific patch in python-virtinst is "lost".
