XBDBACK(4) | Kernel Interfaces Manual (Xen) | XBDBACK(4) |
All xbdback interfaces follow the “xbdbackXiY” naming convention, where ‘X' represents the guest domain identifier, and ‘Y' an arbitrary identifier. This identifier is usually associated to the device node as seen by the guest using major(3) and minor(3) numbers. For example, identifier “769” (0x301) means major 3 and minor 1, identified as “hda1” under Linux convention. For NetBSD, the guest device name specified in the guest configuration file does not matter, and can be chosen arbitrarily.
A xbdback interface will appear as a xbd(4) block device inside a NetBSD guest domain. In the XenStore, xbd and xbdback are identified by “vbd” (virtual block device) entries.
