I found using a device xml file works in Jaunty with 0.7.0-0ubuntu0~ppa2, haven't tried older version, but it may work with them as well. I could not get the attach or detach -disk options to work. However using the device xml seems to work. I've attached the xml file I use to attach my system's physical CD-ROM to the VM. Detaching is (oddly enough) accomplished by attaching an empty device. I'll upload the no-cdrom.xml after this.
virsh attach-device winxp ~/cdrom.xml ** Attachment added: "cdrom definition for physical drive" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31546244/cdrom.xml -- virsh attach-disk doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203020 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
