Hi Hank, I wanted to follow up on the block device driver discussion we had at LinuxCon, based on some other input I got. What most people recommended was to make both the hv scsi and the hv ata code scsi device drivers, *not* make them standalone block drivers as I originally recommended. The main reason for this is consistent naming of the devices. We have a lot of user code that can deal with /dev/sd* devices, but introducing the /dev/vd* devices for virtio caused a lot of pain that you probably shouldn't have to go through. I'm not sure whether the two should be one or two drivers. My feeling here is that it might be nice to have a single scsi host driver for both that has two modes of driving the device, one sending the SCSI commands down the virtual bus, the other one interpreting the SCSI commands in the same way that libata does.
