Subject: losetup -f not working on SLES10
Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:03:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B2218F9.9020608@amd.com> (raw)
Hi,
c/s 20404 (http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-unstable.hg?rev/830bda7a9c75)
introduces "losetup -f" to the hotplug scripts to find a free loop
device. This option does not exists on SLES10, so Xen unstable does not
work any longer on top on SLES10. I see that using -f is much smarter
than the old-fashioned way, but shouldn't we keep compatibility with
older Dom0 userlands?
Is a patch providing fallback to the old code an option?
Regards,
Andre.
