No selinux messages.

This filesystem is an image of a Windows partition, backed up with ntfsclone, restored, resized, cloned again (trying to eliminate alleged bad hardware sectors, a legacy of earlier problems). I expect /dev/hdb to be a "superfloppy" format drive which I can then manipulate into a partition on another virtual drive.

I have not seen a reply to this; on the basis I really _must_ get something moving, I tried using /var/lib/xen/images/rto.img and that works fine.

Is something being too clever and misvalidating file names?
