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 2010/8/24 Jim Fehlig <jfehlig@novell.com>

Hi all, My libivrt is libvirt-0.8.3 I would like to add "tap2" recognition when using virsh create and dumpxml,
Ah yes, I have a patch laying laying around that needs to go upstream. No better time to do that than now ..
