On a particular server A, with RHEL5.2 & Xen 3.03, creating a paravitualized RHEL5 virtual host will "almost" hangs at the step formatting the root partition if the disk files are not initialized in advance ( i.e. without using --nonsparse ). "Almost" means it will finally pass that format step after 2-3 hours or so, the disk sizes are just about 10G. If the parameter --nonsparse is used, everything is just fine.

The same virt-install script works well when moved to another server B with same OS but different hardware, no matter whether --nonsparse is used or not.

I think the problem may relates to the disk system, but besides that problem, everything else seems ok.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Vu
