blktap does have a dependency on vdiskadm, but can operate without it. blktap is specific to Xen. vdiskadm does not have any dependencies on blktap or xVM. It can be leveraged by other efforts (as blktap did). There aren't any other projects leveraging vdiskadm today. > I'd much rather see the whole project described in a single ARC case, > if that's at all possible.

Yes, I will add this in. I'll wait to hear back about the merge before sending out an update. Thanks, MRJ
