I think I know the answer but appreciate any confirmations or other recommendations. It has been a long process.
I am attempting to implement a basevol/guestvol system similar to what is described at http://linuxvm.org/present/misc/basevol.html . I have the root filesystem defined as R/O under z/VM. When I try to boot, it fails rather quickly with the following:
end_request: I/O error, dev 5e:01 (dasd), sector 65680 reiserfs: journal-837: IO error during journal update Replay Failure, unable to mount sh-2022: reiserfs_read_super: unable to initialize journal space Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 5e:01 HCPGIR450W CP entered; disabled wait PSW 000A0000 80230D08
Yes, I use Reiserfs and it appears I overlooked a minor detail with the journaling. Am I correct in the assumption that the basevol/guestvol system will not work with reiserfs?
Would ext2 be a better choice for what I am trying to accomplished?
As always, thank in advance.
Ewwww.
It looks like Reiser is trying to get to its journal space, which is on a read-only disk. I don't know nearly enough about reiser to know how to make this work.
Ext2 would work better because there's no journal. I have no idea about ext3 or how you make sure that a volume's journal is writeable....actually...what if you mark the read-only volumes (ro) in the zipl.conf and re-run zipl?
That might just fix it.
