hello. I'm running, or attempting to run, FreeBSD-12.1 with xen-4.12
with HVM machines, using Zvols as backingstore for the virtual disks. I'm
running into an issue where after I write to the disk with the VM,
filesystems on the disk become corrupted, including corruption of the disk
label and partition table. zpool status shows no errors, even after I
perform a scrub. ZFS might be a coincidence and it may be a problem with
Xen or Qemu, which is why I'm writing here. To do my install, I configured
two disks for my VM, one to use as a boot/root disk and the other to build
the system I'm virtualizing. Interestingly enough, I do not see corruption
on the virtual boot disk, only on the secondary disk. My config is shown
below.
The VM is a NetBSD-5.2 system. I'm running many 5.2 systems, both as
real hardware and as virtual machines without trouble, so there is
something about this setup that's the problem, as opposed to the OS in the
vm. The dmesg for the VM is shown below as well. Are secondary disks as
rw disks not supported?
-thanks
-Brian
