Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

DomU problems with LVM: msg#00211

DomU problems with LVM |
After a lot of testing and fun I have freed a box for production Xen
installs. When I try to install Xen onto an LV things go quite wrong.
If I create and mount an LV and install Xen into a file backing then all
works fine.
The process I am using goes like this...
Create an LV:
# lvcreate -L 2G vgxen -n myxen
Install FC5:
# xenguest-install.py --name=myxen \
--file=/dev/vgxen/myxen \
--ram=256 \
--location=http://install/5/i386/
I preform a minimal install and it finishes without errors, the only
thing I customise is the name of the volume group (VolGroup00 => vg00)
and the logical volumes (LogVol00 => lv00 etc), I'm not a fan of the
StudlyCaps default :-)
The I start the instance
# xm create -c myxen
Only to be confronted with this:
Setting up Logical Volume Management: 2 logical volume(s)
in volume group "vg00" now active
[ OK ]
Checking filesystems
Checking all file systems.
[/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /] fsck.ext3 -a /dev/vg00/lv00
/dev/vg00/lv00: clean, 19347/418080 files, 126997/417792 blocks
[/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /boot] fsck.ext3 -a /dev/xvda1
Error reading block 32 (Attempt to read block from filesystem
resulted in short read).
/boot: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
Trying to fsck the /boot filesystem gives the following errors:
Error reading block 32 (Attempt to read block from filesystem
resulted in short read). Ignore error<y>?
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong or what I am doing wrong?
Take care,
Gawain
