I have one domU using the disk file tanuj.dsk

[root@tanuj-xen-new virtual]# cat /etc/xen/tanuj
name = "tanuj"
uuid = "3d9ab75d-e08f-bac9-b56c-1cd6a43d1e35"
maxmem = 300
memory = 300
vcpus = 4
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
>>>vfb = [  ]
disk = [ "tap:aio:/virtual/tanuj.dsk,xvda,w", "phy:/dev/sda11,xvdb,w" ]
vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:32:e9:5f,bridge=xenbr0" ]
[root@tanuj-xen-new virtual]#                       

and this domU has disk /dev/xvda1 mounted at /boot

[root@tanuj ~]# df -h /boot
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1             99M   13M   81M  14% /boot
[root@tanuj ~]#                                       

now I am trying to attach that /dev/xvda1 on my dom0

#  xm block-attach 0 tanuj.dsk /dev/xvda1 w 0

Now I can see the attached device in xm list --long

[root@tanuj-xen-new virtual]# xm list --long

[root@tanuj-xen-new virtual]#         

and in block-list too

[root@tanuj-xen-new virtual]# xm block-list 0 --long
(51713
    ((backend-id 0)
        (virtual-device 51713)
        (device-type disk)
        (state 1)
        (backend /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/0/51713)
    )
)
[root@tanuj-xen-new virtual]#          

But I am not able to locate that disk /dev/xvda1 on my dom0 and how can i mount it even if my domU is down

I know that the /dev/xvda1 data can be taken by using losetup and kpartx but need to know about this

Regards,

Tanuj
