Looking at the disk file I told Xen to create (I gave > it 4096 as the size) it appears to have a size of 0. Is that the way it should be? No! The disk size is specified in GB, though, so you just asked for a 4TB file, which is beyond ext3's tiny little brains. Try something a little smaller. :-) Yes, we should deal with this error better. --Stephen
