Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2007-09-28 20:19:35 UTC
While I'm remembering context, this thread makes it clear why we need the above
patch:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-September/msg00305.html

Solaris uses numbers 0,1,2,3 instead of xvda, xvdb, etc for disk names. The
current XenD code doesn't correctly distinguish  '0' from 'None', hence the
patch above.


Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2007-10-16 03:47:33 UTC
