Ok - I get the overall way the block devices or files are mapped into
the guest machines. But I'm still confused here:
I can create a regular file and make it available as a disk using
disk = [ 'file:/srv/xen/host-disk0,0x1,w' ]
... as you described. But why do we need the vnd device? Just
accessing the file itself does the trick for domU. Is some
vnconfigging going on automatically that I don't know about? I can
Yes, the startup script finds a vnd and vnconfigs it and points the domU
at the vnd. This is far easier than doing it explicitly. see the logs.
