Looks like your LVM volume is either mounted in dom0 or already exported to another domain with write privileges. Unless you're using a cluster file system like GFS, you need to make sure it's unmounted in dom0 and that it's not exported writeable to other domains, otherwise you'll hose your filesystem.

Hmmm, that's wacky. There could be something funny going on that's confusing Xend about what's mounted (maybe something doesn't parse properly...). Could you please post the output of "mount" on the system where this fails so we can try to deduce what's upsetting Xend.

Mark, I realize that the ACTIVE flag from lvscan is not relevant. I looked at /proc/lvm/global and it shows all unmounted volumes as closed: LVs: [AWDL ] home 8388608 /2048 1x open [AWDL ] ksinfinity 6291456 /1536 close [AWDL ] sharedhost 20971520 /5120 close [AWDL ] vserv1 3145728 /768 close [AWDL ] vserv2 3145728 /768 close [AWDL ] vserv3 3145728 /768 close [AWDL ] vserv4 3145728 /768 close [AWDL ] vserv5 3145728 /768 close [AWDL ] ksinfinity_swap 524288 /128 close [AWDL ] sharedhost_swap 1048576 /256 close [AWDL ] vserv1_swap 262144 /64 close [AWDL ] vserv2_swap 262144 /64 close [AWDL ] vserv3_swap 262144 /64 close [AWDL ] vserv4_swap 262144 /64 close [AWDL ] vserv5_swap 262144 /64 close Indeed, home is the only mounted volume.

Williamson @ 2004-11-11 15:20 UTC (permalink / raw) To: xen-devel, pac I tried out the parsing code against your mount output and it looks like it should work OK. *scratches head* I'm guessing lvscan only shows LVs as inactive if it finds them on an unactivated PV somewhere... The LVM documentation is a bit sparse in this area, I think. It seems somewhat bizarre that you saw the error you did - are things still broken with LVM?

Here is a sample of the output: Mark, yes, I was able to solve the other console problem. Apparently the fedora core2 rootfs was the problem. ttylinux example and my debian rootfs work perfectly.
