Re: [Xen-users] xl cfg disk option for lvm and cdrom

[Skippy VonDrake <skippyvondrake@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the help, guys. For the record my disk config worked as:
  disk = [ 'phy:/dev/guestsVG/xpVol,hda,w','phy:/dev/sr0,xvdc:cdrom,r' ]
"Worked" as in the domain was created but I couldn't connect to it.
But I'll start a new thread for that problem.
