I just don't get it :-(
I've run format, and it gave me c0d0 as the only formatable disk
then I run fdisk /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0 and it gave me:
Total disk size is 1305 cylinders
Cylinder size is 16065 (512 byte) blocks
Cylinders
Partition Status Type Start End Length %
========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== ===
1 Active Solaris2 1 1304 1304 100
then ls -al /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0 gave me:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Feb 4 02:30 /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0 ->
../../devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL
PROTECTED],0:q,raw
then ls -al /devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:q,raw
gave me:
crw-r----- 1 root sys 102, 16 Feb 4 05:52
/devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL
PROTECTED],0:q,raw
So I've deduced that the device has major number 102 and minor number
16, I then specified in the xen config file
disk = [ 'file:/home/administrator/nexenta_ufs.raw,0x10216,w' ]
and the usual things happened:
xentest:~# xm create -c nexenta.cfg
Using config file "./nexenta.cfg".
Started domain nexenta
v3.2-1 chgset 'unavailable'
SunOS Release 5.11 Version NexentaOS_20080124 32-bit
Loading Nexenta...
panic[cpu0]/thread=f502ae20: Cannot find /devices

f5055710 genunix:vfs_mountroot+1e5 (f4c00010, f5051538,)
f5055720 genunix:main+af ()
syncing file systems... done
skipping system dump - no dump device configured
rebooting...
If you can give me an explanation/some pointers to what to fix (what I
did wrong, I'm not a solaris expert (yet, I least hope)), but have some
(few years) experience with linux and *bsd systems.
Thanks in advance
