Greetings, I'm creating xen guests with file-backed VBDs and installing RHEL5 (paravirt) on them with kickstart. When the guest is first created my xmdomain.cfg looks something like this:
name = "kauai" memory = "1024" disk = [ 'tap:aio:/local/mnt/xen/kauai,xvda,w' ] vif = [ '' ] kernel = "/local/mnt/xen/bootimages/vmlinuz" ramdisk = "/local/mnt/xen/bootimages/initrd.img" vcpus=1 on_reboot = 'destroy' extra = "ks=http://ks-dev/rhel-5-i386/GV/ks/rhel-5-xen-guest-i386.cfg noipv6 name=kauai" Here's my question: during the RHEL5 beta I was able to just touch the file for the VBD (/local/mnt/xen/kauai) and during the kickstart it would be grown as needed up to a limit of 8Gb. After reloading my xen server with the released RHEL5 the same thing fails with "Input/output error during read on /dev/xvda". If I do something like: dd if=/dev/zero of=kauai bs=1k seek=8192k count=1 (which I found in the Xen users manual) then everything proceeds as before. Anybody else notice this? Did something change between the beta and release? -Deke _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
