[Xen-users] Sharing a CDROM drive between domains
Hello, all. So far Xen has worked well for us other than the NFS issued I just posted and this CCD issue. The physical server has an IDE CDROM drive on /dev/hda. We would like to share this between domains as a read only device. In the domain configuration files, we created a disk entry of [ ''phy:hda,hda,r'' . . . .]. We thought that would create a /dev/hda on each of the unprivileged domains. It created an hda0 instead. We then tried to mount /dev/hda0 at /mnt. The mount appear to succeed but then gives a data underrun error. How does one share a CDROM drive between domains? Thanks - John -- John A.

That would be desirable, but it currently isn''t supported.
