Fedora xen - May 2006 - device names in DomU

Hi,

I like to use harddisk device names other than hdx/sdx in DomU (because 
I''m about to migrate a legacy system (which uses /dev/mdX devices) into
a xen DomU and I like to make sure that one day I won''t mistake
DomU''s
/dev/hda1 with /dev/hda1 in Dom0 when running a mkfs ...)

if I specify

disk = [''file:/virtual/guest-root.img,sda1,w'']

in DomU''s cfg file, it works. but if I specify

disk = [''file:/virtual/guest-root.img,vxd1,w'']

(or something like "md1") then xm create reports "Error: int
argument
required".

any ideas ?

You want xvda, etc.
