[Xen-devel] Re:Trying to get HyperSCSI and Xen to work... ;-)

["Sven Kretzschmar" <sven.kretzschmar@xxxxxx>]

Thanks a lot for the patch, Keir !
It's working now in domain 0  :))

I now wanted to make parts of the mounted HyperSCSI disk available to
domains > 0 via vd and vbd.
I used xenctl and added partition "sda".  Worked OK.
Then I created a vd and a vbd based on the key of the vd. Worked OK.

Now my question:

1.) Is it possible to access the created vd (virtual disk) or the created
vbd (virtual block device)  _without_ booting and logging in to domain 1 ??
I have found no way to access either the created vd or vbd in domain 0
in order to create a filesystem on it and to fill it with something usefull.

2.) Is it possible to boot domains > 1 from a vbd (virtual block device)
     which is defined as the root device in the kernel command line ?

3.) Does the number of the created vbd coresspond to the name of
     the block device during boot time of domains > 0,  such that, if
     the vbd number is 1 then the device name is /dev/xvda1 (according
     to the README.CD file) ?
     At least in domain 0  I could not find such a device entry before
     or after creating the vbd in domain 0 ?

Thanks again and regards

Sven
