Error: Adding extent to vbd failed ...

[Tillman Hodgson <tillman%seekingfire.com@localhost>]

When attempting to start up my 5th DomU, I run into an error:

[root@minerva ~]$ xm create -c /usr/pkg/etc/xen/domU.www
Using config file "/usr/pkg/etc/xen/domU.www".
Error: Adding extent to vbd failed: device (vbd (uname file:/virtual/www.img) 
(dev wd0d) (mode w)), error 8

[root@minerva ~]$ tail -1 /var/log/messages
Jun 22 17:02:41 minerva /netbsd: xbdback VBD grow domain 14: unknwon device 
0x2c890

(yes, "unknown" has a spelling mistake in the log)

To create the DomU, I merely copied my standard NetBSD image file to a
new file (all the DomUs run a version of the  same image file though
each is customized for IP address, etc) and created a new config file:

kernel = "/netbsd-XENU"
memory = 64
name = "www"
cpu = -1
nics = 0
disk = [ 'file:/virtual/www.img,wd0d,w' ]
root = "/dev/wd0d"

/virtual/www.img exists and has the same md5 as my original "barebones"
image file.

It almost seems like I've run out of virtual devices, but it looks to me
like there's 64 of them in /dev.

Any pointers on where I should look to troubleshoot this?
