Hello,
 
Does a guest (domain U) have the ability to create partitions on a virtual disk drive (/dev/hda1)?   For example, can I use parted/fdisk to create my own partitions on a VBD from within domain U?
 
Also, does the XEN front-end block driver support any IOCTLs?  I looked in the code and it explicitely fails all IOCTLs received from the kernel.
 
Thanks,
 
Eric
