Xen 3.0.2 - weird

If you get this error on starting up an domU:
Error: Device 769 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found.


I have found two possible errors:

  • the disk = [ ] section is wrong ( loop file not found / LVM not found)

  • xen dom0 kernel missing loop device support (or to few possible devices [max_loop parameter])

I had a power fail restart, after that I couldn't start any domU with getting the Error message mentioned above.

But doing a loop mount by hand solved the problem, despite not knowing why it worked.

Maybe just a hint or not for others!

If you are using loopback filesystems, make sure that you created the directory specified in the 'dir =' directive of xen-tools.conf. I've forgotten that twice now and spent hours each time trying to figure it out.
