[Xen-users] What means "w!" for disk entry in the most recent Xen Wiki Stubdom sample ? - Nothing
Xen Wiki for Stub Domain sample shows up syntax :-
name = ''OVM_EL5U1_X86_HVM_4GB''
uuid = ''de0edfdc-c6f1-4d2b-a2a3-88c035208c79''
builder = ''hvm''
device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/stubdom-dm''
kernel = ''/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader''
memory = ''256''
vif = [ ''mac=00:16:3e:6b:66:d7,bridge=xenbr0'', ]
disk = [
''file:/share/vm/OVM_EL5U1_X86_HVM_4GB/system.img,hda,w!'', ]
acpi = 1
apic = 1
pae = 1
vcpus = 1
sdl = 0
vnc = 1
vnclisten = ''192.168.1.199''
on_crash = ''restart''
on_reboot = ''restart''
My question :-
Is sign "w!" something new,been missed in Release Notes, or
it''s a typo ?
Following release notes i was able to install F8,F9,openSUSE 11,Solaris
10(05/08)
in stub domain (all 64-bit Linux stub DomUs at Xen 3.3 CentOS 5.2 Dom0).
However, attempts
to install CentOS 5.2(1) hangs at the third installer''s page
"Keyboard layout selection".
OK. I''ve tried "w!" just now. It gets accepted, but result
for 64-bit
CentOS 5.2 stubdom install is exactly the same. It hangs at the same
page.

"w!" means that Xen won''t check that a block device isn''t used by other domain before starting. use it only to create shared devices, managed by cluster tools (either cluster volume managers or cluster filesystems) -- Javier _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
