Another separate thread for a slightly separate issue.
For some reason, hotplugging disks does not work for me.
I built my guest with ubuntu's vmbuilder. It's Precise, virtual.
I have acpiphp in my /etc/modules file:
$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
psmouse 97443 0
serio_raw 13211 0
virtio_balloon 13108 0
acpiphp 24231 0
floppy 70365 0
hotplug_pci seems to be compiled into the kernel:
$ grep HOTPLUG_PCI /boot/config-3.2.0-32-virtual
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_FAKE=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI_IBM=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_CPCI=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_CPCI_ZT5550=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_CPCI_GENERIC=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_SHPC=m
But when I attach a disk, absolutely nothing happens in the guest. No
messages in the logs, no change to /proc/partitions, no new device nodes.
When I reboot, the disk appears.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Douglas
