Re: [PATCH] fix free of event channel in blkfront

Thank you for reply

I boot the VM with a img file and the conf file is as follows

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xenU"
memory = 256
name = "dom3"
vcpus = 1
vif = [ '' ]
disk = [ 'file:/vm/dom3.img,sda1,w' ]
netmask = "255.255.0.0"
gateway = "192.168.150.1"
hostname = "office2"
ip = "192.168.104.5"
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
extra = "4"

and if I want to attach another img file to the VM ,then
the VM boot img must have many partitions such as sda ,sda1, sda2 when
the img file is made and
xm block-attach file:/vm1/template/another.img sda1 w
then in the VM ,mount the sda1,and access it
I am not for sure whether I understand your mean
or do you mean that the another img file with I want to attach to the VM
needs have many partitions?


could you make me clear about it

Thank you in advance
