  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

I believe this is related to using file: instead of the tap:aio: URI specification for CD images in the Xen config. This should be fixed by using phy: URIs (and LVs for CD images) on the prod cluster.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
