Xen - mkinitrd hangs at "Found root device xvda2 for LABEL=/"
Hi folks,
Because of Ganglia reporting high iowait, I re-check with iostat, sar, ...:
Code:
# iostat 1 3

`fdisk -l` and other commands related to disk hangs in D state:
Code:
# ps -eo pid,user,state,cmd | awk '$3 ~ /D/ { print $0 }'

30906 root D lvm.static lvs --ignorelockingfailure --noheadings -o vg_name xvda2
therefore, the first thing come to my mind is I got the problem with virtual disks but I have no ideas to check.
I tried to update my whole system - CentOS 5.5 and prepare for the reboot (backuped with fallback option in grub.conf), but I got stuck in mkinitrd:
Code:
# mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-2.6.18-194.26.1.el5xen.img 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5xen

Found root device xvda2 for LABEL=/
... hangs in here
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
PS: my /etc/mtab:
Code:
