hi,

i've installed OpenFiler 2.2 in a Xen DomU.

i dd'd the OF appliance DL image (@ rpath) to a Dom0-managed LV, and
created a second LV for storage. so i have,

        lvs | egrep "openfiler|share"
          openfiler   vg1 -wi-ao   1.56G
          share       vg1 -wi-ao  20.00G

the 'share' LV was created as,

        lvcreate --name share --size 20G /dev/vg1
        mkfs -t ext3 /dev/vg1/share

and, reading here,

        https://project.openfiler.com/tracker/ticket/558

i also cleared its partition table,

        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vg1/share bs=512 count=1

i pass the two physical devices to the DomU via it's .cfg,

        ...
        disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vg1/openfiler,xvda1,w', 'phy:/dev/vg1/share,xvdb,w']
        ...

on,

        xm create openfiler.cfg

the instance boots fine.

@ nav to,

        http://openfiler.mydomain.com:446/admin/volumes_physical.html

i see,

        /dev/xvda       IDE             1.56 GB         msdos   1 (view)
        /dev/xvdb       IDE             19.99 GB        loop    1 (view)

but when i attempt to edit/partition the second drive, 2 nav to:

        
http://openfiler.mydomain.com:446/admin/volumes_editpartitions.html?dev=%2Fdev%2Fxvdb

        /dev/xvdb1      Unknown Partition Type (0x0)    1       1       2611    
20971520        20.00
GB      Primary         -

with *NO* option to edit, create, etc.

any hints as to how I can actually USE the LV i created in Dom0 in the OF DomU?

thanks!
