çå: [Xen-devel] some questions about the new blktap2 module

[fanliang <fanliang@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you a lot for your attention . 
I got the dom0 kernel source code from xensource.com, and I don't know whether 
it's the same with  pv_ops dom0 source tree .  I'm wondering that how can 
people use VHD devices under the new blktap2 if he use SUSE11 as dom0 , whose 
kernel is 2.6.27 .  In my mind,  the new blktap2 module is developed matching 
with kernel 2.6.18 . For example, blktap2 includes lots header files from  
linux-2.6.18. Is this right ?

Hello,

Afaik blktap2 is not yet ready/working on pv_ops dom0 tree (xen-unstable uses 
pv_ops dom0).

Jeremy can possibly comment more about the status of blktap2.
