Thanks. I'm happy to attach using qvm-block. My mistake was that I didn't recognize that if I mount the drive in dom0, then I can't attach it elsewhere using qvm-block. Whenever I did qvm-block l in the vm, the drive didn't come up on the list -- so there was nothing to use qvm-block on. But, then, when I unmounted it from dom0 as you instructed, boom -- there it was. Now that I think about it, it's a rather stupid security breach to mount the same drive in dom0 and "work," so this is a clear example of the design saving me from not thinking things through. Good on qubes. And thanks for the answer. -- on a totally unrelated note, is there a way to mark a question [SOLVED] in the subject line in Google Groups?
