I have created an vmdk image to give it a shot as opposed my broken qcow
images. (I cannot convert them back to raw)

The strange thing is that it is opened in the backend, but doesn't show up
in the frontend:

Backend:

Jul 26 14:14:25 xenapi BLKTAPCTRL[2993]: Exiting map_new_blktapctrl


Inside the VM:
 xvdb:<4>XENBUS: Timeout connecting to device: device/vif/0 (state 1)


With this I can also conclude that my VIF is not working; that seems to be
like cascade bugs...

After these events the complete management is fubar, destroy keeps open
(one/two) tapdisk instances. And makes the machine to reboot. Without the
VMDK image everything seems to works 'normal'.
