Any movement on this? It's a pain to have to remember to re-add the symlink when setting up a new system or upgrading xen-utils.

Hello List, I''m using blktap on XCP 1.1 and developing a difference copy program for easy backup and remote archival. The idea is to read the BAT of VHD1 and sync it to BAT of VHD2 with BITMAP and the data blocks. Other way would be by adding a sha1 signature in each data block and comparing it with remote VHD. I tried to get some info from below programs but could not get required

Hi everyone, as what I''ve learned form this link<http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/blktap>, i know that when i specify tap:aio I’m actually using the blktap driver and finally using "tapdisk" to wirite to raw image file. but the truth is even when i delete /usr/sbin/tapdisk the domU can still boot on my machine with tap:aio protocol after a deeper look into the scene,

I''m using the CentOS 6 bundle of xen from http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/xen-c6/ and ran into an issue when creating domains with multiple VHD tap disks. Comparing unstable to the 4.2.1 code I''m using, it seems this issue still applies. I''m using a configuration line that looks something like disk = [

Hi all, I am not sure if this is the right list. I implemented a network store based on blktap, a IO consumes100 ms, however tapdisk stops every 10 seconds, as a result previous io''s completion will be sent to kernel until 10 seconds later. This makes the performance suffer. Am I using blktap wrong ? Thanks, Yongqiang -- Best Wishes Yongqiang Yang

When I submitted the qcow2 patch for blktap, suggestions came up that the qemu block drivers should be used also for blktap to eliminate the current code duplication in ioemu and blktap. The attached patch adds support for a tap:ioemu pseudo driver. Devices using this driver won''t use tapdisk (containing the code duplication) any more, but will connect to the qemu-dm of the domain. In

There are a number of flaws in the blktap userspace daemon when dealing with I/O errors. - The backends which use AIO check the io_events.res member to determine if an I/O error occurred. Which is good. But when calling the callback to signal completion of the I/O, they pass the io_events.res2 member Now this seems fine at first glance[1] "res is the usual result of an I/O

When a domain wants to use a tap:ioemu disk but has no device model, start a tapdisk-ioemu instance as provider. Also, move the creation and removal of communication pipes to xend so that qemu-dm doesn''t need the unwanted SIGHUP handler anymore.

The domU is using pygrub to boot its own 2.6.18.8-xen kernel. It can be booted successfully under 2.6.18.8-xen dom0 and xen 3.3.1. However when upgrade dom0 to 2.6.32.15 and xen 4.0.1-rc3-pre, the domU can not boot with tapdisk. I am wondering it is something related to the blktap driver. *When using tap:aio:* PATH/disk.img in domU disk configuration, the boot process hanged at a prompt: XENBUS:

Hi, milos/list, now I''m working on some code related to page sharing. Are there any document/wiki that show how to setup the page sharing environment, so that I can test my code? Checking the code, I noticed the only tapdisk/blktap will use this page sharing mechanism. I''m not sure HVM guest without PV driver can use blktap, so does page sharing support HVM guest? Sorry that
