[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#582363: xen-utils-3.4: blktapctrl not started by default

[Nick Craig-Wood]

Package: xen-utils-3.4
Version: 3.4.3~rc6-1
Severity: important

blktapctrl isn't started by default.  If blktapctrl isn't started then
none of the tap: disks (eg tap:aio) work.

This functionality has been removed in tools-misc-xend-startup.diff

         return daemon.start()

xenstored and consoled have been started in /etc/init.d/xend instead,
but it appears blktapctrl has been forgotten.
