[Xen-users] Can't write to floppy image (fda)

[Oskar Senft <osk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I managed to successfully run a Windows 7 DomU guest. I'm using Harper
James's GPLPV drivers.

I also managed to attach a floppy disk image to the DomU. It shows up in
Windows as expected and I can read the files stored on the disk image.
However, any attempts to write to the disk fail stating that it's write
protected.

I'm using these two lines in the DomU configuration for the floppy disk
and the hard disk:
fda = '/root/xen/floppy'
disk = [ 'file:/root/xen/win.img,hda,w' ]

Is it expected behavior that I can't write to the floppy? The underlying
image files for "fda" and "disk" have the same permissions in Dom0, so I
think I can rule that out as the source of the problem.

Thanks
Oskar.
