Xen 3.0 From Binaries In Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) mount errors - EVMS?

After installing Xen 3.0.3 on a Ubuntu 6.06 system trying to mount partitions on the second hard disk fails.

Googling shows that it may be lvm or device mapper related. EVMS also showed up as mentioned in the howto's comments.

How can disable I EVMS to see if it will fix the problem?

 

If you know the exact name of the module, you can remove it like this:

Code:

modprobe -r module_name

If it's listed in /etc/modules, comment it out so that it won't be loaded the next time you boot the system.

 

EVMS is not installed on my system and after googling a bit I found this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=494987.

What does the dm_mod/devicemapper do and how can I detect if it is actually used by my system. It shows up when I run lsmod.

 

I think it's used by LVM. You shouldn't remove it if you use LVM.

 

I have eventually been able to fix the problem by disabling the dm_mod module in modules.dep

I am not using raid or dm_mod?

Are there any downsides if dm_mod is disabled?

 

Do you see any error messages in the

Code:

dmesg

output? If not, everything should be ok.
