Ubuntu VM is PV (paravirtualized), so it uses /dev/xvd* disks automatically. Windows VM is HVM (fully virtualized), so it has emulated IDE disks, which are /dev/hd*. (You can use optimized PV disks when you're done installing windows and you have installed optimized Xen PV drivers). -- Pasi _______________________________________________ xen-api mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xensource.com/mailman/listinfo/xen-api
