Yes, I forgot to mention that I had done a "chroot /mnt/guestfs" before I ran the mknod. I created a ubd0 also, though I have not tried changing fstab to try ubd0 yet. > Also make sure you've compiled UBD support into your guest kernel, I've > forgotten that a couple of times and gotten a similar error. Thanks, I will check into this. Unfortunately the server's being shipped to a Co-lo right now, so it will be a few days before I can try it. Since I'm doing stuff to it that can be done remotely, I figured I could start it shipping.
