Hi,

I'm trying to mount a file system, but I got the error:

mount: unknown filesystem type 'swap'

Any help is appreciated

This is the result of lvs:


lvs
Found duplicate PV US1LgrWctRqLSEl0JWE5k7R9OU7tsh5T: using /dev/mapper/loop3p2 not /dev/mapper/loop1p2

and
# mount /dev/vg_b/lv_root /mnt/img

# mount /dev/vg_b/lv_swap /mnt/img
mount: unknown filesystem type 'swap'

You don't mount a swap partition to a location in your directory structure

Thanks a lot, actually i'm doing mounting for my cm image, but in this link, it seems its creating swap drive for host vm. Could you please help me to create the swap for my vm image?

It should all work the same in a VM. As far as the VM is concerned, it's a real machine...sort of like the Truman Show, and all commands and operations should be done as if it's a real machine.

But this is what I got:

# cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/dm-0 partition 35028988 0 0



mkswap /dev/dm-1
/dev/dm-1: Device or resource busy

# swapon /dev/dm-0
swapon: /dev/mapper/vg1-lv3: stat failed: No such file or directory

and when I'm trying kernel without ro quiet splash this is gonna be the result:


grubdom> kernel /vmlinuz-3.3.4-5.fc17.i686 root=(hd0,0)

grubdom> boot
xc: error: elf_xen_note_check: ERROR: Will only load images built for the generic loader or Linux images: Invalid kernel
xc_dom_parse_image returned -1
close(3)

Error 9: Unknown boot failure

I'm not sure it's related or not. but when I mounted the image to /mnt/img, I figure out /mnt/img/boot is empty., Is it normal?
