I am having an issue with Megacli when adding or removing virtual disks. I will post a link to fpaste that has the issue shown.
In brief whenever i add, or remove, a virtual disk via MegaCli the attempt succeeds and the adapter is configured but the OS remounts dm-0 in read only. dm-0 is my root lv. This issue does not happen if i boot into the default, non Xen, CentOS kernel. On stock CentOS kernel i can add and remove VD's all day without any issue at all. ONLY happens while booted up with the Xen kernel.
I have been racking my brain trying to figure this out. Any help is appreciated.
My system:
Dell Poweredge 2950 II PERC 5/i Controller
CentOS 6.7 Xen Version: 4.4.3-1.el6
