Interesting.. I though blktap == lvm..?  How do you invoke it for file 
backed devices?
 
Ahh scratch that blktap is specifically disabled in the debian kernels 
- looks like the devs have issues with it as there's a patch to remove 
it from the xen kernels they ship - 
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-xen/trunk/xen-3.0/debian/patches/blktap-disable.dpatch 
I guess they have their reasons.. I'll stick to the standard loopback 
devices.
