Sorry I mistyped the path. The device path listed in the vbd is what you should be using kpartx on e.g. kpartx -av /dev/sm/backend/55ea20d2-8611-1121-9e9e-c26b35ac1852/5e2c31a5-1d1b-4abe-9892-1fa3bc47b532 This will expose the partitions which you can find in /dev/mapper. -Original Message

That is due to the new sm backend that was introduced. When a vbd is plugged into dom0 is no longer shows up as a straight block device under /dev/ The new version of xe-edit-bootloader addresses this and can be used as a pointer on what to do. Hint: kpartx -av /dev/sm/backend/55ea20d2-8611-11

Ok, here important stuff. When VBD is plugged to dom0, it plugging not as 'normal' device (with udev attention), but as device in /dev/sm/backend. Here sample log (change uuids on you taste): xe vbd-create vm-uuid=53c3d878-b60b-48ec-aaac-73f7adf9ab3d vdi-uuid=5e2c31a5-1d1b-4abe-9892-1fa3bc47b5

After more investigation and with the help of tcpdump, I have tracked the problem down to being ACKs not being received by the client. By flushing the iptables rules (i.e. iptables -F) this problem magically goes away. Dave On 7 Jan 2013, at 14:22, Dave Avent wrote: > > On 3 Jan 2013, at 11:
