[libvirt-users] Virsh blkstat doesn't work on Xen HVM

[wenche_chang at trend.com.tw]

Hi 

 

I tried to use virsh blkstat to get information of a block, but it returns an error message as shown below

This function works fine in KVM, but fail in XEN.

I tried XEN 3.4.3 ,4.0.0 and 4.0.1 with libvirt 0.7.1 from fedora yum server and 0.8.1 from libvirt .

All of them are fail to get the block status.

The following is the config file and error message of virsh domblkstat.

Any one knows how to make this function work?
