[xenpreview-dev] No blktap driver?

[John Byrne]

Charles,

A couple of things you may not yet have run in to.

1.) blktap won't build as a module. The patch I just submitted to 
xen-devel is attached. You can work around it without the patch by 
defining both CONFIG_XEN_BACKEND and CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_TAP to "y" in the 
config.

2.) The "tap:aio" driver doesn't work if CONFIG_NFS_DIRECTIO is set to 
"y". You might consider disabling this in your config.
