Description of problem: if I wish to assign 30 disks to a virtual machine, virt-install starts naming them wrongly after vdz (see "target dev=XXX"): <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writethrough'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/shared-0025.img'/> <target dev='vdz' bus='virtio'/> <shareable/> <serial>STS-SHARED-0025</serial> </disk> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writethrough'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/shared-0026.img'/> <target dev='vd{' bus='virtio'/> <shareable/> <serial>STS-SHARED-0026</serial> </disk> then it fails with: Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:02:13 DEBUG Removing /var/lib/libvirt/boot/virtinst-vmlinuz.ThGVwx Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:02:13 DEBUG Removing /var/lib/libvirt/boot/virtinst-initrd.img.9D8QWL Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:02:13 ERROR An error occurred, but the cause is unknown Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:02:13 DEBUG Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 629, in start_install noboot=options.noreboot) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1223, in start_install noboot) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1291, in _create_guest dom = self.conn.createLinux(start_xml or final_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 2064, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:02:13 DEBUG Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-virtinst-0.600.0-5.el6.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. virt-install with many --disk options (30+) 2. 3. Actual results: abort as described in description, wrong names for targets Expected results: vdy, vdz, vdaa, vdab, kind of what linux kernel would name them no error on virt-install Additional info:
