Attaching it to dom0 with block-attach works well, can access, partition=20 it, format partitions, mount partitions, copy files... but then I can't detach it=20 and I'm stuck :) That's why I tried other ways to do it and got then stuck again on the=20 "can't access a partition" problem with the tap-ctl method. So talking about tap-ctl, yes IMHO it would be interesting to be able to=20 access them for such operations. Also I don't know if my xm/xl block-detach is a bug or happens only on=20 my systems, or maybe only with VHD based disks. If it's the case, would also be nice to=20 have it fixed. -- S=C3=A9bastien
