This one
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2007-11/msg00782.html
or at least very similar (can't find the original URL I copied it from).
I think I had to change the -a's to -b's so it detected if the block
device was already attached.

I have solved (worked around) the problem by modifying the script to
convert the 'iscsi' to 'phy' in xenstore once the block-iscsi script was
done with it.

I think it would be better if there was a separate 'format' for qemu
used was different to the 'type' that the block-* scripts need to use,
even if the block-* scripts had to update it. So 'iscsi' would have a
'format' of raw or phy or whatever it needs, as would 'drbd'.
