Hi all,

I have a script to add virtual network interfaces to domains. The script mounts the image in loop mode and writes to the disk. If I shutdown the domain, run the script, and start the domain back up, everything works perfectly.

However, if I try this script with a running domain, the data doesn't get written from within the domain.

To keep downtime minimal, is it possible to write to the image while keeping the domain running?

Thanks,

--seth
