hi all What´s the best way to have my DVD-R/RW burner working in a DomU? Just ''phy:hdc,hdc,w'' would do it? or there´s some other way? thanks in advance, Christian Lyra _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
>What´s the best way to have my DVD-R/RW burner working in a DomU? Just >''phy:hdc,hdc,w'' would do it? or there´s some other way?It''s not that simple; a DVD burner needs extra control codes that our virtual disk device driver does not support. The best you could do would be to give the domU control of the IDE controller itself, but as it probably has your hard drive on it''s probably not the best way :-/ You''ll probably want to find some compromise using other features in the system (e.g. mkisofs on a partition, then unmount that partition in the guest, mount it in dom0, then burn in dom0. You could make this work via a script which the guest could call).

But as you said, the hardrive and the DVD-RW are on the IDE controller. :-( Jun suggested iSCSI or AoE, but I could not find a implementation "ready for production". Anyone tried this before? I´m trying to avoid using Dom0. Everything is working in DomUs, including the "file server". p.s. please, it is possible to configure the mailing list server to include a "reply-to" pointing to the list address? If you just reply to a msg it goes to the sender and not to the list. -- Christian Lyra POP-PR - RNP http://lyra.soueu.com.br ``Let the programmers be many and the managers few - then all will be productive.''''
