Re: [Xen-users] Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found.

Hi Joe,

Good on ya for keeping it up mate. I have the same problem & have been 
hunting around for an answer. If I learn anything new I will post it 
here. Heres something random for ya:
On my server upgrading from 3.0.1 -> 3.0.2 means that this error shows 
up after i've booted 2 DomU's before it was showing up after i'd booted 
one. All I can say is weird.
Best Regards,

Quintin
