John, I've never installed anything on Scientific Linux. Are you sure that QEMU has RBD support?
I have some wip-doc text, which I'm going to move around shortly. You can see the yum install requirements here: http://ceph.com/docs/wip-doc-install/install/yum-priorities/ http://ceph.com/docs/wip-doc-install/install/install-qemu/#rpm-packages Make sure you can run QEMU commands on RBD first, since that's a dependency. http://ceph.com/docs/wip-doc-install/rbd/qemu-rbd/ On Mon, Oct 28, 2013 at 12:01 PM, John Morris <j...@zultron.com> wrote: > I'm encountering a problem with RBD-backed Xen.
