Hi, there are not problem to create domU with vhd disks, im using devices with tap2:vhd:/path/to/file.vhd in domU config files, using xl to create and manage domains, in this part everything is ok, just tapdisk2 remain in processes after domU shutdown with /sys/class/blktap2/ folders for each blktap device. Garbage in /sys/class/blktap2/devices show while domU is running and after shutdown. Just an little irritation. Problem is I can`t mount disk image in dom0 (at last im not able to find documentation how to do it, because README in tools/blktap2/ is quite old and don`t reflect current state ). In past (4.0.2-rcX) im used to mount image with tapdisk -n <type:file> , then kpartx , mount nlk device and do a job, then list device from /sys/class/blktap2/devices and remove device with command "echo 1 > /sys/class/blktap2/blktapX/remove" . Is it a solution for mounting images in Dom0 using the blktap2 driver, please? About my setup:Im running weekly updated gentoo systems on recent intel i7 and xeon boxes, i need recent kernel for devices as well as usb passthrough, so I choose suse linux kernel from 11.4 branch, currently 2.6.37.6 (having very good experience with this tree, its stable, faster than linux-2.6.32-pvops.git), tested nearly all from 2.6.18-xen , 2.6.32-pvops (also other branches from jeremy`s git), previous suse xenified kernels 2.6.32 ,34. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Stodden Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 1:20 AM To: Sarge I Cc: xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] What happen to blktap2 in Xen 4.1 ??

Can you give me a hint what kernel you're using and what state those nodes where in? If you didn't use tap-ctl, and tapdisk2 failed, how did those devicee nodes even get allocated?
