On a random 9/amd64 box, "ls -l /dev/*xbd0{,d}" shows:
crw-r----- 1 root operator 142, 3 Jan 7 2019 /dev/rxbd0
crw-r----- 1 root operator 142, 3 Oct 21 2016 /dev/rxbd0d
brw-r----- 1 root operator 142, 3 Jan 7 2019 /dev/xbd0
brw-r----- 1 root operator 142, 3 Oct 21 2016 /dev/xbd0d
So my theory is that one can use /dev/xbd0 or /dev/xbd0d, never a
raw device, and needs an actua. pathname, not somethihng that is used to
search for a pathname (as many other tools do).
