There's believed to be some sort of driver-level bug that needs fixing here, since it appears to be more broken than it should be. > 1) How should a user specify whether a block device should be exposed as > a CD-ROM? How about a uname-style format like we have for source devs? We could make the type specifier optional, e.g. disks = [ 'phy:/dev/sda1,hda1,w', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,cdrom:hdd,r'] > 2) Is it going to be necessary to expose block devices as other types? Maybe one day... The above syntax should be flexible enough though. > 3) If we're going to move to special Xen-specific block devices, should > we also have Xen specific CD-ROMs? Something like /dev/xcdN? It'd be nice to retain the ability to use arbitrary hdX and sdX nodes for now (and possibly even after we have some device numbers assigned).
