RE: [Xen-users] Debian Lenny & LVM Partitions

["Alan" <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Fajar,

 

Yeah, it works fine if I do the partitions for the domU as standard non LVM partitions. Looks like the issue lies with Debian and LVM.

 

I did try the update-initramfs with no luck.

 

Regards,

Alan

From xen perspective you can always use LVM on dom0, and assign an LV

on dom0 for each domU's partition. I usually give one for "/", one for

swap, one for data (if needed).

This is a debian issue then. You should ask debian experts out there :)

 

My guess is that somehow your debian installation does not include LVM

features on initrd. In ubuntu this is automatic, but maybe there's a

config option somewhere that needs to be changed. Again, debian

specific. Perhaps if you run update-initramfs while having debian

booted it will correctly modifiy the initrd.
