I recently installed OpenSuse 11.0 together with two OpenSuse 11.0 DomU´s. Now i want to update the complete system to OpenSuse 11.1. I had no problem´s to update the Dom0 system to OpenSuse 11.1. However updating the DomU´s seems to be a problem. The first install of the DomU´s was a install into directory with whole LVM´s partitions exported as disks. My layout is as follows: disk=[ 'phy:/dev/domX/daolin_root,xvda,w' , 'phy:/dev/domX/daolin_boot,xvdb,w' , 'phy:/dev/domX/daolin_usr,xvdc,w' , 'phy:/dev/domX/daolin_opt,xvdd,w' , 'phy:/dev/domX/daolin_var,xvde,w' , 'phy:/dev/domX/daolin_src,xvdf,w' , 'phy:/dev/domX/daolin_tmp,xvdg,w' , 'phy:/dev/data/home,xvdh,w' , 'phy:/dev/data/foto,xvdi,w' , 'phy:/dev/data/imap,xvdj,w' , 'phy:/dev/data/news,xvdk,w' , 'phy:/dev/data/squid,xvdl,w' , 'phy:/dev/data/srv,xvdm,w' , 'phy:/dev/hda1,xvdn,w' , 'phy:/dev/backup/backup,xvdo,w' , 'phy:/dev/sr0,xvdy:cdrom,r' , 'phy:/dev/sr1,xvdz:cdrom,r'] for the initial install i did mount the lvm volumens to subdirs of /tmp/install and did a install into this directory. The fstab of the system contains entry like /dev/xvda for mountpoints (i.e a whole disk, not a partition) This was working fine. But i don´t know how i know can update this system to 11.1. Installation into a directory seems to only can handle fresh installs. I created a special startup file for xen with allows a disk install of OpenSuse 11.1. However this doesn´t work because the exported disks are not recognized as expected. When i choose the update option, the installer shows no partitions at all. I have no idea to solve this problem. Do i really have to partition an exported lvm volume first in the DomU before using it as a mountpoint ?
