Hi

thanks for the ideas.

No difference, I'm afraid.

That was not the case in my scenario. I also tried to "losetup" the
image file and then mount it in Dom0: That worked without problems and I
could write to it as expected. From my testing, the only way I could
find to add a "floppy" drive to a Xen VM is by using the "fda" config
rule and then either reference a file or a block device.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
Oskar.
