Interesting.. I though blktap == lvm..? How do you invoke it for file backed devices?

Ahh scratch that blktap is specifically disabled in the debian kernels - looks like the devs have issues with it as there's a patch to remove it from the xen kernels they ship - http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-xen/trunk/xen-3.0/debian/patches/blktap-disable.dpatch

I guess they have their reasons.. I'll stick to the standard loopback devices.
