[Xen-users] xvda1, xvda2 disk configuration with hvm

[Juan Rossi <juan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We are converting some VMs from pv into hvm, we used to map the disks in 
the configuration file as follows:
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/users/debian.img,xvda1,w', 
'phy:/dev/users/debian.swapfs.swp,xvda9,w' ]
so we are basically mapping block devices that have no partition tables, 
just file systems to xvdaX style devices.
When moving into type=hvm we hit issues with this, if I am correct it is 
due qemu-dm and the need to have partition tables, mapping to raw disks 
and devices have the need to be in different denomination letter, eg 
/dev/users/debian.img,xvda1 /dev/users/debian.swapfs.swp,xvdb1.
Is there a work around or setting we may be missing that will allows us 
to map FSs in the form of xvdaX using hvm?
Regards

Juan.-
