Re: xm/xl block-detach issue

["Sébastien Riccio" <sr@swisscenter.com>]

Hi,

Nobody getting the same issues with xen 4.1.x and xl block-attach/detach 
of vhd files ?

As i'm stuck with that, I've tried to give a try with xen-unstable tree. 
Seems that
the syntax for block-attach has changed. Anyone has a clue about how to 
attach
a vhd file as a block device using xl block-attach ?

also with 4.2-unstable
disk = [ 'tap:vhd:/cloud/data2/machines/vm1.vhd,xvda,w' ]

does not work any more

Parsing config file /cloud/data2/configs/vm1.test.cfg
libxl: error: libxl.c:1102:libxl_device_disk_local_attach: cannot 
locally attach a qdisk image if the format is not raw
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:437:do_domain_create: failed to run 
bootloader: -3

Thanks,
Sébastien
