Greetings, I was wondering what is the proper way to configure a scsi cdrom pass-through so in when the qemu line is generated, host_Cdrom will be used instead of host_device. looking at https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/master/src/qemu/qemu_block.c#L1090, I see that hostcdrom must be true. in order for that to be true, the following must be (see https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/master/src/qemu/qemu_domain.c#L7167): 1. disk->device == VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_CDROM 2. disksrc->format == VIR_STORAGE_FILE_RAW 3. virStorageSourceIsBlockLocal(disksrc) 4. virFileIsCDROM(disksrc->path) == 1 virFileIsCDROM uses the kernel, so I assume that as disksrc->path points to the actual path (I can see it in the qemu line) than #4 returns 1. the other 3 are more complicated. my xml snippet is this: <devices> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' rawio='yes'> <source> <adapter name='scsi_host0'/> <address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </source> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </hostdev> </devices> Thanks, Dagg
