Thanks for your answer.

I checked: 
http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/4.4-testing/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt
 
And I think here is what you referred to:

    where each diskspec is in this form:
        
       [<key>=<value>|<flag>,]*,
         [<target>, [<format>, [<vdev>, [<access>]]]],
         [<key>=<value>|<flag>,]*
         [target=<target>]

That means disk positional parameter also has orders. I missed this point 
before.

Thanks,

Zhigang
