XEN 4.4 and opnsense

[bringha]

Hi,

just tried the new xen extensions for my domU opnsense 15.7.18. When I installed them with

Code Select Expand


pkg install os-xen


I then get with every reboot that:

Code Select Expand


xenstore-read: couldn't read path /local/domain/66/unique-domain-id
xenstore: could not write path attr/eth0/ip
xenstore: could not write path attr/eth1/ip
xenstore: could not write path control/feature-balloon
xenstore: could not write path attr/PVAddons/MajorVersion
xenstore: could not write path attr/PVAddons/MinorVersion
xenstore: could not write path attr/PVAddons/MicroVersion
xenstore: could not write path attr/PVAddons/BuildVersion
xenstore: could not write path attr/PVAddons/Installed


Any idea? Thanks a lot

Have a look at this (bottom of the page):

http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_FAQ_Linux,_Running_on#Booting_a_guest_complains_about_trying_to_use_an_already-mounted_block_device.2C_but_it_isn.27t_mounted.3F.21

Let me know if that solves your issue. :)

Hi franco,

When I the execute

Code Select Expand


root@OPNsense:~ # xenstore-rm backend/vbd/70

I get

Code Select Expand


xenstore-rm: could not remove path backend/vbd/70

There is a bit more at the end here about magic host reboot and finding out the path and what happens with dom0 on those cases:

Beyond that I'm not much of help here. Sorry. We do have a few Xen users, maybe they can help still.
