I'm experimenting with how to attach storage to a guest virtual machine (I sent another message to th elist about that as it's slightly different)
Looking in the XML files for my virtual machine, I see this:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
<source file='/vm/myvm/tmpeuiVc9.qcow2'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
However, /dev/hda is not a device in the guest. It is /dev/sda. It's not really a problem in it's own right, but it's one of several connected things which don't make sense. Is there some explanation for this?
I believe this is linked to some weirdness when I attach some extra storage like so:
virsh attach-disk myvm /dev/lvm-group1/mystorage sdb --driver qemu --persistent
This adds the following stanza:
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source dev='/dev/lvm-group1/mystorage'/>
<target dev='sdb' bus='scsi'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='1'/>
</disk>
Looks about right. In the guest though, it pushes /dev/sda (root and swap are here on sda1 and sda2) upto /dev/sdb (sdb1 and sdb2). Somehow it still boots correctly despite fstab referrencing /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 for / and swap. The new /dev/sda is this storage I tried to add as sdb. What could be causing this?
Thanks,
Douglas
