Xen devel - Mar 2008 - virtual disk image checksum

Hi,

I was wondering weather xens virtual disk images does implement a cluster
(request) based checksum like physical hard drives do? Or does xen rely on the
underlying subsystem (host file/disk system) to carry out this task?

I think it relies on the underlying subsystem to carry this out (and any 
consistency checks in the guest filesystem).  The virtual disk format most 
commonly used is just a raw array of the bytes that you''d read from a 
physical disk with the same contents.

Cheers,
Mark
