On this topic, is there any way to *definitively* know which Xen block device corresponds to which adaX device? The guys at Citrix really want to know instead of just assuming that xbd.0 is ada0. Perhaps adding a sysctl value like "dev.xbd.0.%block: /dev/ada0" would be nice... Who would I talk to about this?

Hint: they're adding official tools support for FreeBSD soon.


fake edit: perhaps they can work with the "dev.xbd.0.%parent: xenbusb_front0" type output. I'll see...
