I set up Xen on a freshly-installed FC5 system, configured the guest

an error that the partition table for my disk couldn't be read. I opted to ignore
this as I've seen
that error even on real systems and have proceeded without incident. However, the
installer
continued to produce errors about not being able to find the disk, being unable to read
the
partition table, etc and eventually just died. Looking at the disk file I told Xen to
create (I gave
it 4096 as the size) it appears to have a size of 0. Is that the way it should be?
No! The disk size is specified in GB, though, so you just asked for a
4TB file, which is beyond ext3's tiny little brains. Try something a
little smaller. :-)
Yes, we should deal with this error better.
