[Xen-users] Working hotplug, but still timing out waiting for vbd device
Apologies for not including this last time.
Domain ID is 2.
Domain name is demo-1.
Found 2 device classes in use.
Found 1 vbd devices.
Found device vbd, 770.
Backend is stuck waiting for frontend for device vbd, 770.
Device vbd, 770 hotplugging has completed successfully.
Found 1 vif devices.
Found device vif, 0.
Backend is stuck waiting for frontend for device vif, 0.
Per the log in the quoted message below, vif-bridge *is* called and
claims that it completed successfully, which implies that it went
through the success call at line 61 and thus should have updated
xenstore to provide notification of its functioning state.
Obviously, there's a step somewhere in the initialization process that I
don't fully understand. Anyone?

I'm running Xen3 7775 with udev 073 (which was a PITA to get working, as
the initrd I've been running for quite some time uses an older one --
but that's an entirely different story). My dom0 is Gentoo-based.
When I try to start a DomU, it times out waiting for hotplug-based
notification, as per the following:
DEBUG (DevController:69) Waiting for devices vif.
DEBUG (DevController:75) Waiting for 0.
DEBUG (DevController:69) Waiting for devices usb.
DEBUG (DevController:69) Waiting for devices vbd.

However, based on the following passage from /var/log/messages, the
relevant vbd backend *really did* start up and try to provide
notification of its new state:
logger: /etc/xen/scripts/block: bind XENBUS_PATH=backend/vbd/1/769

Note the "changing physical-device not supported" messages. My disks are
indeed specified as phy devices, as per the following:
disk = [ 'phy:data/demo-1,hda1,w', 'phy:data/demo-1-swap,hda2,w' ]
However, I'd hope that being specified as physical devices wouldn't
impede hotplug notification.
Any suggestions as to why I would be seeing the present behaviour?
