Package: xen-utils-common Version: 4.1.3-6 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
I am trying to run the following command on a dom0 Debian server in order to mount a vmware vmdk. I don't want to use kpartx or losetup as they have poor write performance and I'm hoping blktap will provide better performance. xm block-attach 0 tap:vmdk:/mnt/backup/3MSYDDP01/3MSYDDP01_2-flat.vmdk /dev/xvda1 w 0 However /dev/xvda1 is not created. I have loaded to following modules for good measure: modprobe blktap modprobe xen-blkback modprobe xen-blkfront modprobe xen-evtchn modprobe xenfs modprobe xen-gntalloc modprobe xen-gntdev modprobe xen-netback modprobe xen-netfront modprobe xen-pciback modprobe xen-pcifront modprobe xen_wdt And tried manually creating the blokc device beforehand. mknod /dev/xvda1 b 220 0 I searched for answers and found nothing that suggests that shouldn't work? -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xen-utils-common depends on: ii gawk 1:4.0.1+dfsg-2 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8 ii python 2.7.3~rc2-1 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu3 ii udev 175-7 ii xenstore-utils 4.1.3-6 xen-utils-common recommends no packages. xen-utils-common suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
