Hi, c/s 20404 (http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-unstable.hg?rev/830bda7a9c75) introduces "losetup -f" to the hotplug scripts to find a free loop device. This option does not exists on SLES10, so Xen unstable does not work any longer on top on SLES10. I see that using -f is much smarter than the old-fashioned way, but shouldn''t we keep compatibility with older Dom0 userlands? Is a patch providing fallback to the old code an option?

I thought I checked that SLES10 had "-f", but apparently it was openSUSE.>> Is a patch providing fallback to the old code an option?Or maybe cleaner to just scan the output of "losetup -a" for the first unassigned device? I can work up a patch. /gary _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
