Hey All,
I have a cluster setup and exporting gfs storage everything is
working ok(as far as I know anyway). But instead of mounting the gfs
storage I want the xen guest to be installed on the shared gfs storage.
But with my current setup when I install the domU on the gfs storage it
changes it to ext3. Is it possible this way or does the domU have to be
on an ext file system?

Hello. I was running domU''s on xfs, reiserfs, ext3, ocfs2 ... never had aproblem. I don''t believe gfs is an exception here. How do you install a domU and what tries to change your gfs storage into ext3??? greetinx christo On Mon, 2007-06-11 at 10:27 -0500, James Wilson wrote:> Hey All, > > I have a cluster setup and exporting gfs storage everything is > working ok(as far as I know anyway).

DomU doesn''t need to know ANYTHING about what the first is, but it does need drivers and tools to use the content (of course). You can for example use ext3 to store a image-file that contains NTFS for Windows. Dom0 doesn''t need to have a NTFS driver, and DomU Windows doesn''t need a EXT3 driver. The only exception, as I know of, is that you can''t have reiserfs inside reiserfs (because it uses some sort of magic word to recognize what lives where, and when it finds this "in the wrong place" it will get itself into a weird place where none of the original content of the filesystem is accessible at all). -- Mats> > greetinx > christo > > On Mon, 2007-06-11 at 10:27 -0500, James Wilson wrote: > > Hey All, > > > > I have a cluster setup and exporting gfs storage everything is > > working ok(as far as I know anyway).

hi, what''s your format of the domU? a raw disk image or an image only contain one partition, and which condition when the dom0 and domU are reiserfs there will be something wrong? i''m doing some test with both format and didn''t fall across? could you give more information about that, thanks!
