This patch series copies the core of the tapdisk process from blktap2, with updates coming from blktap2.5. Signed-off-by: Thanos Makatos <thanos.makatos@citrix.com>

Get blktap2 running on pvops. This mainly adds eventfd support to the userland code. Based on some prior cleanup to tapdisk-queue and the server object. We had most of that in XenServer for a while, so I kept it stacked. 1. Clean up IPC and AIO init in tapdisk-server. [I think tapdisk-ipc in blktap2 is basically obsolete. Pending a later patch to remove it?] 2. Split tapdisk-queue into

Hi, I''m currently trying xen 4.1.1 with the 3.0.0-rc5 (heard that it now contains the xen code to run as front or back xen domain). Everything seems to run fine, except that I am trying since a few hours to mount a .vhd file in the dom0. What I tried so far: to create a blank vhd file (this is working): host# vhd-util create -n /storage/test.vhd -s 20G Then i try to mount the file

Hello, I have been playing around with Remus on Xen 4.0.1, attempting to fail-over for an HVM domU. I''ve run into some problems that I think could be related to tapdisk2 and its interaction with how one sets up Remus disk replication in the domU config file. A few things I''ve noticed: -The tap:remus:backupHostIP:port|aio:imagePath notation does not work for me, although this

Hi, I''m trying to run guest pv vm on my machine running xen-unstable (xen-4.0.0-rc3.pre + linux-2.6-pvops). However, I get blktap error: " sudo xm create -c xmexample Using config file "./xmexample".

Hi, Currently i''m going through the source codes of tools/blktap2. I need to find-out where blktap2 calls 1. mem_share_nominate() 2. mem_sharing_share_page() functions to do the memory sharing on HVM guests. Can someone please provide me some guidance on blktap2 driver. Thanks, Harshan _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list

I''m getting this message (subject line) in daemon.log every time I start or restart xend. I''m not sure if this is related to the fact that I cannot boot up my Windows domU from a VHD file. The Windows domU was working fine with Xen 4.0.0 (with 2.6.32.14 dom0 kernel). When I upgraded to Xen 4.0.1-rc4 (with 2.6.32.16 dom0 kernel), I can no long boot the Windows domU from VHD. The

For those wanting to know how to mount filesystems through blktap2 here is how you do it, as I couldn''t find it fully documented. The instructions on the blktap2 readme file are rather out of date. You can mount them under Dom0 like so. e.g. to mount a vhd file, sudo xm block-attach 0 tap2:vhd:/home/xen/xenwin7-persist.vhd xvdb w 0 Now the device should appear under /dev ls

Hello, I''m currently trying to understand some problems I had in the past with mixing look-back with blktap(2) for HV and PV domains. I''m stuck reading the source code, so I''d like to get some help from the list. Interrupt me if I got something fundamentally wrong in my understanding so far: 1. With pure-HV the domU gets an emulated IDE (or whatever) disk. The

I''m currently working on moving storage services into their own domain and I''ve been looking at blktap2. I''ve been trying to get an image mounted with blktap2 and for some odd reason and tapdisk2 keeps hanging instead of quitting at the end. I haven''t removed any of the storage startup code at this point so everything should be as it normally is in xen-unstable.

Hi, I''ve been testing Xen 4.0.1 with kernel 2.6.34.5 + http://gentoo-xen-kernel.googlecode.com/files/xen-patches-2.6.34-4.tar.bz2, and one of the things that I noticed immediately is there are two problems with tapdisk and this combination. First, the syntax "disk = [''tap:tapdisk:aio: ..." no longer works. When tested with HVM domU, it boots, but there was no disk

You''re right scout the last line. Out looks like xapi is waiting on tapdisk to plug a key into xenstore. Perhaps a udev rule problem? Perhaps someone who knows more about tapdisk than I well be able to diagnose this tomorrow. Mike Sent from Samsung tablet Sébastien RICCIO <sr@swisscenter.com> wrote: Of course, here it is attached.
