How do people go about accessing removable storage from within an HVM domU ?
I've been struggling with this one also. Specifically, I'm wondering how I can change cdroms while a machine is on. My first thought was to edit the config file then issue a kill -HUP to the qemu-dm process. That failed (the machine just shut down).

The only thing I found said to go to the qemu prompt (http://mitopia.net/index.php/Xen_3.0.2_Setup#Install_GuestOS), but I'm wanting a way to do it without having to break out of the VM (I was hoping for a dom0 command line way).
