Re: Issues trying to use LVM logical volumes with Xen 4.5, NetBSD 7.0_RC3 dom0 and domU

[Adrian Christiansen <adrian.christiansen%gmail.com@localhost>]

Been testing some more and trying to figure it out.
I have converted some of the disk space into normal partitions, these
work excellent with Xen. I get the message:
xbd backend: attach device wd1a (size 20480000) for domain 7

So it seems like the xbd backend doesn't understand what the LVM
devices are?, is there something I'm missing in my config?

Still trying,
Adrian.
