Hi,
I'm trying to do the following:
live migration of a VE which has an extra partition mounted.
Live migration without the extra partition works like a charm.
I then added access to /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 to the VE with
the "vzctl set <VEID> --devices 8:0:rw --devices 8:1:rw --save
In the VE I can access the block device, create a filesystem on
it, and mount it.
Since /dev/sda is an iscsi lun on shared storage, it is also available on the node I want to migrate to, with the same major and minor device numbers.
I am not using a bind mount, since lvie migration has been documented not to be possible in that way.
I have also tried using lvm and using a logical volume instead of a primary partition on a disk. Results are the same.
Any ideas ?
The reason for this is the ability to use SAN space for the data and local storage for the VE OS. This would cut down on the syncing time needed, and make fast SAN disks available to the VE's.
Kind regards.
