Back in January there was a mail thread on this subject ( 
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2005-01/msg00659.html 
), however I see that blkfront still does not include ioctl support for 
disk geometry. So, any application that uses "sfdisk -g" to get the 
geometry of a partition, or disk, will fail when run in DomU.

Is this a deliberate omission?
