That sounds rather odd, They aren't proper SCSI devices so you can't do SCSI inquiry like cdrom_id wants, the properties you can query from a Xen vbd are very basic, basically just TYPE=disk|cd. I suppose I could make the SCSI INQ stuff in cdrom_id optional, since the CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY ioctl is implemented. Would that be preferred? It would be essentially making the stuff added in fd7a285e6293fddd3fbc68b519dcd367adeb72c4 optional. > > * Add support to path_id for Xen vbd devices > > Applied this part.
