Thread-topic: Re: [Xen-users] xm block-attach from dom0 and exception looking up device number for /dev/xvda1 - why ?
I still have the same problem as Ian Brown.

I mounted the image as follow:
# xm block-attach 0
tap:qcow:/var/lib/xend/storage/ba714891-9799-b01c-cc8c-78a7880c4d7d.qcow
/dev/xvda1 w 0

Then I can see it in the block-device-list
# xm block-list 0
Vdev  BE handle state evt-ch ring-ref BE-path
56321    0    0     3      18     8
/local/domain/0/backend/tap/0/56321

And mounting it fails :(
# mount /dev/xvda1 /mnt/test
mount: /dev/xvda1 is not a valid block device

So I tried the the approach with mknod (253 blktap):
# mknod /dev/xvda1 b 253 1
# mount /dev/xvda1 /mnt/test
mount: /dev/xvda1 is not a valid block device

Here the debug output of xen:
