[libvirt] attach-disk to freebsd based guest
I can easily attach a disk using the following command in virsh to a linux guest: attach-disk mydomain /dev/vg0/somethnig vdb Hwoever when I try the same to a freebsd based guest it doesnt show up under /dev. I hvae tried to substitude vdb with vda1 and all sorts of other things to no avail. How can I attache a disk to my freebsd guest? best regards, Seb

Why do you think it's related to libvirt ? As far as I know it will do the same independantly of the guest OS, just that somehow your guest don't manage to pick it up !

AFAIK, FreeBSD does not implement VirtIO, so using vda will not work. You cannot hotplug IDE, so the only remaining option is to try SCSI by specifying a device name like sda Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
