Whenever Alex or I have used VDs they've just worked: There's no way to populate a vd with a file system unless you can access it from domain0, so its obviously been working for some people. I wander if it's got something to do with whether the newly created virtual disk just happens to have something approximating a valid partition table or not? Having the refresh tool seems like a good solution until we figure out how to make Linux do it automatically. I can't think of any real block devices that have their size change dynamically that we can borrow the mechanism from. I guess we could use 'media change' events, but it would be good to be able to extend a virtual disk that's already mounted.
