[Xen-users] Adding a new virtual block device to a guest os

["Trung Hoang" <inquiries@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I wish to add a secondary file based block device to a guest os.
I've read that this could be accomplished by running 'xm block-attach
myguestos /vserver/domains/myguestos/disk2.img /dev/sdb w'. Then
running 'xm block-list myguestos' shows that the drive is now available
on the guest os. When i ssh into the guest os, i execute 'fdisk -l' but
that fails to show the new drive. What must i do? Do i need to add the
vbd to the .cfg file of the guest os?

My system configuration:
- dom0 running debian etch w/ xen 3.2 (i think) (how can i find out)
- my guest os is running debian etch.
- im using loop back devices for the guest os' 
- to create the new block device i use 'dd' then 'mkfs -t ext3 ..'
