Map Xen virtual disks to guest os''s drives (windows)
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-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

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...
