Back in January there was a mail thread on this subject (http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2005-01/msg00659.html), however I see that blkfront still does not include ioctl support fordisk geometry. So, any application that uses "sfdisk -g" to get thegeometry of a partition, or disk, will fail when run in DomU.


Is this a deliberate omission?
