[Xen-users] Mount disk in read/write mode in multiple guests concurrently
Hi, I need to be able to mount a disk in read/write mode to more than a single guest domain concurrently. However, I cannot start the guest domain as I get the error saying "Device is already mounted in another guest domain." This feature should be supported in Xen as it is required, for example, in order to run certain distributed file systems. Is there any way I can get around this limitation? Thanks, Anna _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
