Xen users - Aug 2007 - Adding a new virtual block device to a guest os

Hi, I wish to add a secondary file based block device to a guest os.
I''ve
read that this could be accomplished by running ''xm block-attach
myguestos
/vserver/domains/myguestos/disk2.img /dev/sdb w''. Then running
''xm
block-list myguestos'' shows that the drive is now available on the
guest os.
When i ssh into the guest os, i execute ''fdisk -l'' but that
fails to show
the new drive. What must i do? Do i need to add the vbd to the .cfg file of
the guest os?

My system configuration:
- dom0 running debian etch w/ xen 3.2 (i think) (how can i find out)
- my guest os is running debian etch.
- im using loop back devices for the guest os''
- to create the new block device i use ''dd'' then
''mkfs -t ext3 ..''

apt-get install udev

and after that, remove the new block-device and add it again.
