I was wondering if there was any progress on the blkback backend to support iscsi hotplug scripts. I'm planing to move a bunch of vms to Xen and I'd be very interested on using the FreeBSD iscsi hotplug script I created by using the linux one as a guide. Or perhaps, I was thinking, is there any way to create the domain without hardcoding the disk on the cfg file and pass the disk someone as a 'command option'? I mean, I was thinking of a parent script that would connect the iscsi target, check the name of the new disk just connected and then perhaps patch the .cfg file with that name and launch the xl create command. A bit complicated solution but would do the work. I'd do that, but I wonder if it would be worth the effort if the blkback backend is to be here soon. What do you think? Best, Gustau
