[Xen-users] Xen 4.0 | Debian Etch domU unable to mount more than one filesystem at boot time
Hi folks, I have successfully migrated from a Debian Etch dom0 running Xen 3.0.3 (installed using apt-get) to a Slackware64 dom0 running Xen 4.0.0 (all installed from source). It went a lot better than I expected. But I have a couple of issues to resolve. I''ll try to fix them in order of importance so here''s the first: I have a Debian Etch domU which is unable to mount more than one virtual disk. It has a root disk, a swap disk and a filesystem that I share from this domU to my network using Samba. At boot it can mount root partition (/dev/xvda1) but it''s not able to mount swap (/dev/xvda2) or the FS I share to the network. This is the boot message: INIT: version 2.86 booting Activating swap...failed. Checking root file system...fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) /lib/init/rw/rootdev: clean, 27674/262144 files, 187897/524288 blocks done.

Starting periodic command scheduler: crond. This is the conf file for this particular domU: kernel = ''/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.13-20100501'' memory = ''128'' root = ''/dev/xvda1 ro'' disk = [ ''phy:xenvol/sqlserver-disk,xvda1,w'', ''phy:xenvol/sqlserver-swap,xvda2,w'', ''phy:stuff/files,xvda3,w'' ] name = ''sqlserver'' vif = [ ''ip=192.168.2.203,bridge=eth0'' ] on_poweroff = ''destroy'' on_reboot = ''restart'' on_crash = ''restart'' #extra = ''console=hvc0 xencons=tty'' extra = ''console=hvc0 xencons=tty'' I have other Slackware domU''s but they do not suffer this problem. In the conf file I changed xvda# to sda# back and forth with no luck. I''m able to mount the filesystem in dom0 and I can create files/directories on it without any problem. What I''m missing?? Any hint will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
