Hi Jim,
Thanks for your reply!
I use xm create to create a tap2 disk and it works well
disk = [ 'tap2:vhd:/root/tapdisk/vhd-f12,hda,w']
but virsh dumpxml can't get anything about the disk
After i apply the patch, i can catch <disk> information by virsh dumpxml
but it seems that it only recognize "tap" only but not tap2
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='tap' type='vhd'/>
<source file='/root/tapdisk/vhd-f12'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
</disk>
Afterwards i try to use this xml file to virsh create VM and no active
disk is found.
Moreover, if i change driver name='tap' to 'tap2' in xml myself, virsh
seems doesn't support this type and raise error :
error: POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err
'Error creating domain: Block device type "tap2" is invalid.'
Should i modify the dumpxml and create function if i want to enable
tap2:vhd ??
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Ben

Ah yes, I have a patch laying laying around that needs to go upstream.
No better time to do that than now ..
