No blktap driver?

The blktap driver isn't built in the latest bits. Given the
problems 
with the block-loop driver, I expected it and for Yast to
have been 
converted to using it. Oversight? Or is there a reason?

Thanks,

John Byrne

Oversight.  We just noticed this too; it will be on in the
next build.

Thanks...

There looked to be fix for qcow that just missed Xen 3.0.4.
Any chance 
of pulling it in? (Some of us are really interested in
qcow.)

Thanks,

John

I'll do this next week.  Build guy is out next week, though,
so it'll be after the new year before it's on XTP.  :-/

Charles,

A couple of things you may not yet have run in to.

1.) blktap won't build as a module. The patch I just
submitted to 
xen-devel is attached. You can work around it without the
patch by 
defining both CONFIG_XEN_BACKEND and CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_TAP
to "y" in the 
config.

2.) The "tap:aio" driver doesn't work if
CONFIG_NFS_DIRECTIO is set to 
"y". You might consider disabling this in your
config.

Oops. (Trivial) Patch attached.
