Thanks for the response. I think I tried a block-attach against a dom I had 
created with 'create'. AFAIR it failed, so maybe that is why. I read the wiki 
entry against XenStore but it doesn't really tell you how to manipulate it 
non-programatically.

When you do an xm new, does it copy the values from the config file into 
XenStore?

Thanks in advance,

Ian.
