[GRLUG] Xen folks?

Trying to add a disk to a guest VM, .. however the config is confusing:

In /etc/xen/vm/Mainserver

disk=[ 'phy:/dev/sdb1,xvda:cdrom,r', 'file:/u/disk/Mainserver.raw,xvdb,w',
]

In /etc/xen/vm/Mainserver.xml

     </disk>
        <disk type='file' device='disk'>
        <driver name='file'/>
        <source file='/u/disk/Mainserver.raw'/>
        <target dev='xvdb'/>
      </disk>

However, the physical PATH to the disks is:

/u/VM/images/Mainserver

The VM runs, .. so what is the reason for the discrepancy? I have created
a new 250GB data drive to attach to the VM, but how should the path be
specified?
