Next try,

using a logical partition ...

=== prepare image partition ===
# mkreiserfs /dev/hdc5
# mount /dev/hdc5 /var/lib/xen/images

=== prepare base partition ===
# mkreiserfs /dev/hdc6
# mount /dev/hdc6 /mnt
# tar cpjf domu-base.tar.bz2 -C /mnt

=== create file backed qcow image ===
# qcow-create 5120 /var/lib/xen/images/xengate_root.qcow
    /dev/hdc6
# xm block-attach Domain-0
    tap:qcow:/var/lib/xen/images/xengate_root.qcow xvda1 w 0
# mount /dev/xvda1 /mnt
[... changing some files ...]

# umount /mnt
[... umount is hanging forever ...]

# dmesg
[... nothing interesting ...]

Do i anything wrong here? Or maybe a broblem with reiserfs?

BTW, how stable is qcow considered at the moment? Reading the README
it seams quite mature to me.

Greetings,
