Did you set up the 'installation server'? That creates directory structures the installer expects to find. I ended up using NFS instead of FTP but the directory path I had to use was {my path}/sles9root where my path is the directory I put the CD images in and sles9root is the structure the

z/VM I/O Config Question

Minidisk caching causing file corruptions?

2005-08-19 Thread Ranga Nathan
Over a period of time I have observed that when a Linux guest is brought down with signal shutdown (Linux gets this signal as a shut down or halt and signals the ttys and daemons) we get file system errors. I am beginning to suspect mini disk caching. Even though we do not share minidisks for

2005-08-19 Thread Fargusson.Alan
You should be able to test this. If you turn off MDC and you don't get any more corruption then the problem was MDC. I am doubtful that it is MDC. What should happen is that the Linux kernel will sync the filesystem before it stops, then VM will sync the minidisk. I do hear about corruption
