[Xen-devel] failed startup caused by unpriveledged domain device nodes not present in priviledged domain

[Scott Mohekey <smohekey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a gentoo install running as Domain0 which uses a compaq smart 
array for it's disk storage (/dev/ida/c0d0) because of this, there are 
no device nodes present for /dev/sdX or /dev/hdX (aside from /dev/hdc 
for the cdrom). I'm trying to make my unpriviledged domains use lvm 
volumes with the following configuration:
disk = [ 'phy:fs/ns1,sda1,w', 'phy:fs/ns1_swap,sda2,w' ]

When I try and start the domain, I get the following output:

Using config file "/etc/xen/ns1".
Error: Error creating domain: vbd: Device not found: sda1

If I replace sda1 with hdc it works (except that it now complains about 
sda2).
This strikes me as odd behaviour, shouldn't the device nodes in the 
priviledged domains be largely irrelevant for the unpriviledged domains 
(in the case of vbds at any rate)?
Thanks in advance,
Scott.
