Hi Jerry,
using PVM and drbd:... on centos 5.2 works fine.
Robert Dunkley (the mail on xen-users you quoted) did an error:
he took the device-name and not the ressource-name of the drbd-drive.
The ressource names:
>> resource xendrbd0 {
But he tried:
>> disk = [ 'drbd:drbd0,hda,w' ,'file:/root/centos52.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
Just use:
disk = [ 'drbd:xendrbd0,hda,w' ,'file:/root/centos52.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
On HVMs I did not test. On PVM it works since months fine for several
xens. Maybe Lars can say sth to this?
Best regards
Kelly.
PS: Im not subscribed to xen-users, so i cant answer to Robert.
