>Description:
QEMU detects a 0 MBytes hard disk in certain situations (see below), rendering the virtual machine (Xen HVM guest) unusable.

xentools33-3.3.2nb2 Userland Tools for Xen 3.3.x
xenkernel33-3.3.2   Xen 3.3.2 Kernel

-----
/dev/wd5d: (doesn't work)
xbd backend: attach device wd5d (size 2930277168) for domain 10

qemu: could not open vbd '/local/domain/10/device/vbd/768/phantom_vbd' \
or hard disk image '/dev/wd5d' (drv 'phy' format 'raw')
-----

-----
/dev/rwd5d: (works)
xbdback backend/vbd/11/768: unknown device 0x353 (major=3)

nothing in the qemu log.
-----

-----
/dev/mapper/testvg0-freebsd0: (doesn't work)
xbdback backend/vbd/7/768: can't VOP_OPEN device 0xa908: 16

qemu: could not open vbd '/local/domain/7/device/vbd/768/phantom_vbd' \
or hard disk image '/dev/mapper/testvg0-freebsd0' (drv 'phy' format 'raw')
-----

-----
/dev/mapper/rtestvg0-freebsd0: (doesn't work)
xbdback backend/vbd/8/768: unknown device 0xc208 (major=194)

nothing in the qemu log.
-----
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to use Xen HVM guest with an equivalent of:

disk =  [
    'phy:/dev/mapper/testvg0-freebsd0,hda,w',
    'file:/tmp/8.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'
    ]

Then launch the VM.
