I''m running xen 3.2 on sles10sp2 x64. I have a 64 bit domU also running sles10sp2. It''s running off an image file. I had to restart it and now it seems to be stuck doing an fsck. I''ve had other systems do this and they usually finish the check and come up fine. This one seems to be taking an unusually long time to do the fsck. It''s a 40 gb drive and has been running fsck for about 20 mins. It''s the only domU on this system so it''s not like dom0 is really busy. 1) How can I tell if it''s really doing something or if it''s stalled? 2) Is there any way to force it NOT to run the fsck even though it thinks that it needs to based on the amount of days? (obviously I can''t tunefs right now...) Thanks, James _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

In particular, you can run fsck on it and clean it up while having a full system running that allows you to see if it''s doing anything (eg taking processor cycles). If you have a file based guest volume, or have partitioned the exported volume in the guest, then I assume you can still do that but it will take additional steps. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
