Subject: [Xen-users] blktap2 not working on xen-4.0-testing?

  Hi All,

According to http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenKernelFeatures,
Jeremy's kernel should support blktap2 properly but I'm not having any
luck with it.

I've got CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_TAP set in the kernel (tried both built in
and a module) and dmesg shows it coming up on bootup:
[    0.566220] blktap_device_init: blktap device major 253
[    0.566574] blktap_ring_init: blktap ring major: 251

but in /dev/xen/ I have no blktap device, just these:
crw-rw----  1 root root 10, 61 Jul 22 07:11 evtchn
crw-rw----  1 root root 10, 60 Jul 22 07:11 gntdev

stracing blktapctrl shows it looking for a blktap0 in there:
[pid  6545] open("/dev/xen/blktap0", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)

debug output from blktapctrl:

Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks,
