Thread-topic: Xm Create Image Path
All,

Is is possible for xm create foo.cfg to traverse a symlink to access the foo.img.  Here’s an example config and the resulting error..
---
name = "jim"
memory = "512"


disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VolGroup00/foo,xvda,r',
         'tap:aio:/home/fred/local/jim/build/foo_swap.img,xvdd,w',
         'tap:aio:/home/fred/local/jim/build/foo.img,xvdb,w' ]

vif = ['bridge=xenbr0']
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
vnc=1
vncunused=1
---


sudo xm create build/jim.cfg
Using config file "./build/jim.cfg".
Error: Device 51728 (tap) could not be connected.
/home/fred/local/jim/build/foo_swap.img does not exist.

The symlink is local which points to /var/local

local -> /var/local/

Regards,
--
Bobby Cox
