Hi, >> I'm using >> deadline scheduler, the /var partition is mounted noatime, and the >> disk is mounted raw: >> >> <disk type='file' device='disk'> >> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> >> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/mail02.img'/> >> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> >> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' >> function='0x0'/> > > I meant raw disk devices rather than files e.g. > <disk type='block' device='disk'> > <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/> > <source dev='/dev/server02_vg1_2tb/lv_vm03_swap'/> > <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> > </disk> I made this change by editing the xml, restarting libvirtd, then using virsh to define the xml file and received this message: virsh # define /etc/libvirt/qemu/bwimail02.xml error: Failed to define domain from /etc/libvirt/qemu/bwimail02.xml error: missing source information for device vda Have I done something wrong, or am I missing something? Thanks for the other notes. I'm still trying to digest it all, but continuing to make progress. Thanks, Alex
