Hi, I am trying to dump some containers with vzdump, I created a 20G file mounted in loopback in /var/lib/vz:
# mount /dev/dm-0 on /var/lib/vz type ext3 (rw) # df -lha /dev/dm-0 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/dm-0 20G 1.3G 17G 8% /var/lib/vz I have a container named 101 running, I try to run the vzdump with --snapshot, and it gives: =================================================================== # env LANG=C vzdump --snapshot --dumpdir=/root/openvz/dump/ 101 INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump --snapshot --dumpdir=/root/openvz/dump/ 101 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 101 (openvz) INFO: CTID 101 exist mounted running INFO: status = CTID 101 exist mounted running INFO: mode failure - unable to detect lvm volume group INFO: trying 'suspend' mode instead INFO: backup mode: suspend INFO: bandwidth limit: 10240 KB/s INFO: starting first sync /var/lib/vz/private/101/ to /root/openvz/dump/vzdump-openvz-101-2010_07_07-17_47_28.tmp =================================================================== Any idea how to fix the "unable to detect lvm volume group" problem?

Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or democratically elected legislators." _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@openvz.org https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/users
