[Xen-users] err0rs while attaching devices to dom0

[Su Zhang <westlifezs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I want to create a domU file system by copying necessary stuff from Dom0.
However, I encountered an error. I first create a block device for DomU: " # mknod /dev/xvda1 b 202 0"
Then I want to temporarily attach this device to dom0 in order to copy the file system of dom0, so I used
a command "# xm block-attach 0 duncan.img /dev/xvda1 w 0". 
However, I got an error information :  Error: Block device must have physical details specified
                                               Usage: xm block-attach <Domain> <BackDev> <FrontDev> <Mode> [BackDomain]

Anyone has any clue on that? 

Thanks in advance,
