If I start a domain with a number of vbd devices, it's a crap shoot if
they'll all show up in the domU's /proc/partitions. I'll eventually see
all the devices if I keep rebooting the domU.
The value of /local/domain/$DOMID/device/vbd/*/state are all 1 for the
missing devices, and 4 for the ones that show up.
When it works:
domU:~# cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
3 1 1024000 hda1
3 2 266240 hda2
3 3 102400 hda3

There are no other errors in xend's debug output, and AFAICT the above
output doesn't display anything abnormal.
Interestingly, it's only the even numbered devices that will
occasionally not show up (2nd device, 4th device, etc).
Xen-unstable, changeset: Sun Mar 26 11:50:39 2006 +0100 9441:30ae67d6e5f0
Any thoughts or something else I should be hunting for?
Thanks,
