Attaching disks to a FreeBSD VM using Open Source Xen [0] and the xl
toolstack works just fine, but I guess the XAPI toolstack requires some
kind of signal from the guest in order to know it can hot-attach disks?
Have you tried to install the sysutils/xe-guest-utilities port? From the
description it looks like it might solve your problem.
