Hello,

I can't create a new VM with a common vbd in R/W mode with another VM. I
always get:
VmError: Device 769 (vbd) could not be connected.
Device /dev/bit/xentmp2 is mounted in a guest domain,
and so cannot be mounted now.

I make sure to have the device sharable when creating the VDI. And it
works as long as I only attach in mode RO. Is there anything I might be
missing?

The VDI is configured as follows (I even tried creating a different VDI
for each VBD):
<?xml version='1.0'?>
