Hello, everyone!
Is it possible to get xen''s virtual disk name (xvdk, for example) from guest
os (In my case - Windows Server 2008)?
Thanks!

xen device mapping/translation
...C chat, I figured out that it's not
weird, it's actually a normal and expected behavior (thanks for your help,
z00dax).
sdX is actually mapped to xvdX+4. There is a consistent offset of 4.
Suppose you attach an ebs volume to /dev/sdf. It'll be translated to xvdj
at the OS level. sdg to xvdk, sdh to xvdl and so on.
Allright. After having figured the mystery out, it became easy to work on
automations that deal with ebs volumes and file systems, such as volumes
created, attached and mounted on the fly, snapshots that freeze file
systems and so on...
However, I really do think to myself...
