I don't think that there is an easy way of detecting disk changes at the
moment.

I rely on the backend presenting me with 'sectors' and 'sector-size'
values, and obviously these can't be computed if there is no actual CD
inserted so I fail the connection. XenServer appears to act a little
differently - I haven't seen those scsi mode pages in the open source
version.

Roel doesn't appear to be using a physical CD drive though, just an
image, so I don't think this is his problem.
