A virtio-scsi controller is indeed useful as it can control tapes, media changers, and other fancy stuff in addition to ordinary disks. For disks, I'd like to avoid the overhead of scsi command generation and parsing. -- Any sufficiently difficult bug is indistinguishable from a feature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
