Hi all,

I've been running a box as a xen server in strict production with no  
software changes in the past 6 months (last change was an xen-related  
ARP-fix that went in sometime in March). Everything is running fine.

A week ago I had to replace the system disk (needed a larger disk, no  
physical problems with the old one). I populated the new disk via  
dump/restore, installed boot blocks, GRUB cruft and all that. Machine  
runs just fine with new disk and everything is back to normal. Except  
for one thing: I now see a sprinkling of

	"xbd IO domain 2: error 5"

in the logs and on the console. Never saw that before. It is always  
"domain 2" (which is started at boot) and always "error 5" (which I  
assume is "IO error" a la errno.h). I haven't noticed any real  
problems, though, everything *seems* to still work fine.

But I sure would like to know what the problem is (especially if this  
signals a REAL problem somewhere) and why it arrived in combination  
with the disk replacement. Any ideas?

Regards,

Johan
