Re: [Moosefs-users] KVM on MFS

[Richard C. <ric...@ai...>]

Hi Giovanni,
   Thank you for the encouragement... at least I know someone out there 
has done this successfully.

   We're running Proxmox VE 1.8, and this is the exact error message 
we're getting:

5385  open("/mfs/pve/images/101/vm-101-disk-1.raw", 
O_RDWR|O_DIRECT|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

   What version of proxmox are you running?
   Thanks,
   Richard.
