using iso file as cdrom for pv domU is not working on xl toolstack (qdisk)
I have an issue on Xen 4.2+ (now on yesterday''s tip) where when I try to use an iso image as cdrom for a pv domU, it appears that the devices is an unusable state on the domU side. DomU kernel output: http://bpaste.net/show/63482/ xen logs: http://bpaste.net/show/63490/ udevadm monitor output: http://bpaste.net/show/63481/ I can work around this issue easily by creating a loop back device for the iso file first and using that instead. I suspect that qdisk should handle this situation, but I''m not sure how to troubleshoot this.
