I've tried to mount an image in Dom0 by following the instructions in the blktap2 readme file.

The details in section "Mounting images in Dom0 using the blktap2 driver" don't work.
In fact, it seems that blktap2 works rather differently from how it used to work.

I found some comments that you should instead of:
tapdisk2 -n <type>:<full path to file>

I should use
tap-ctl -n <type>:<full path to file>

But that doesn't work either.

Is what I'm trying to do even possible at the moment? I'm using xen 4.1.1

Regards, Matthew
