hi,

fwiw, i can reproduce this problem whether or not i load the boot
volume (i.e., OpenFiler) as tap:aio from the rPath Xen .img, or from
the phy: i create by dd'ing the .img to a LV.

afaict, the OF2.3beta is n/a as a Xen img -- just as an installable
img and as a VMWare instance.

i've tried to figure out enought abot 'conary' to upgrade from 2.2 ->
2.3 place, but, after blindly flailing about for awhile, that fails
miserably :-/

can you perhaps point to any community-available docs?

in the logs, the only relevant stuff i can see is,

 May  3 21:36:46 openfiler kernel: EXT3 FS on xvda1, internal journal
 May  3 21:41:57 openfiler kernel:  xvda: xvda1
 May  3 21:41:57 openfiler kernel:  xvdb: unknown partition table

that doesn't look good :-/

re: partition table, that second drive, xvdb -- created as mentioned
in my OP -- *can* be mounted in other DomU's, with no 'complaints'

so, for some reason, OF is not 'happy' with the partition table.  i
note that OF believes that xvda1 & xvfb are of type "msdos" and
"loop", respectively -- which strikes me as odd.
