[Xen-devel] feature request - prevent user stupidity (eg mine)

["James Harper" <james.harper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I foolishly made the following typo:

"
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vg00/virt-smtp1-root,0301,w',
'phy:/dev/vg00/virt-smtp1-root,0302,w' ]
"

instead of:

"
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vg00/virt-smtp1-root,0301,w',
'phy:/dev/vg00/virt-smtp1-swap,0302,w' ]"

(the type was that the same Dom0 block device is used twice in the first
example)

Which was working great until I did a 'mkswap /dev/hda2' inside the
domain, which really fscked things up :(

Given that there is almost no way you would ever want to publish the
same block device to the same virtual domain more than once, would there
be any value in flagging that as an error when you try and start the
domain?

Thanks

James
