Hi guys, i''ve just installed xen 4.0. Since always blktapctl has never worked on my dell 1950III. I even posted a bug but so far i can''t use tap:aio or similar. I thought that with version 4 this would work, but it didn''t. I still see syslog errors from blktap version 1.0.0. Today i wanted to try version 2 I found on the xen/tools source folder. I compiled the source

Hi,mail list members, As needed by my test, blktap/blktap2 modules have to work after new VMs start.Maybe the line about disk in the vm creation configure file is the right position where I should be supposed to specify the function of blktap/blktap2 modules.But specifically I don''t know how to configure the disk line.Who can help me? hxk

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

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 The instructions on the blktap2 readme file are rather out of date.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

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

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
