A zvol is similar to a disk. Since (assuming from the path) you'll use Windows 2008 with ntfs on it, you can't (normally) access the data on solaris. Because solaris doesn't have native ntfs support. If you need to access the data you need to assign the disk to Windows (or Linux) domU (or share the zvol via iscsi), and mount the partition there. You can access ntfs on solaris via fuse and ntfs-3g (something like http://blogs.sun.com/AlokChakrabarty/entry/how_to_mount_ntfs_and), but AFAIK it's still considered experimental, so I wouldn't recommend it. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
