[Xen-users] Mounting NetBSD domU file-based volumes in linux dom0
Hi, I installed a netbsd domU on a linux dom0, which was really easy with the information from http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/xen/howto.html, http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/NetBSDdomU and http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-02/msg00245.html But, as opposed to the usual process when manually installing a Linux domU, I don''t get NetBSD to create it''s filesystem directly in the block device as if it''s a partition - it uses the block device as a whole disk and creates it''s own partitions/slices in there. When trying to mount this disk in the dom0 system with lomount, I get this: filet:/var/xen/domains/netbsd-test# lomount -t ufs -diskimage disk.img -partition 1 imagemount/ Partition 1 was not found in disk.img. When trying to use kpartx, I also have no success: filet:/var/xen/domains/netbsd-test# losetup -f /dev/loop0 filet:/var/xen/domains/netbsd-test# losetup /dev/loop0 disk.img filet:/var/xen/domains/netbsd-test# kpartx -av /dev/loop0 filet:/var/xen/domains/netbsd-test# ls /dev/lo log loop/ loop0 loop1 loop2 loop3 loop4 loop5 loop6 loop7 I checked the obvious that the Dom0 Kernel has BSD Disklabel support - it''s compiled in by default on Debian: CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL=y Either kpartx and lomount can only handle Linux partitions, or I am missing something.
