You might manage to write a vdsm hook to do this, no idea how hard this can be. See e.g.: https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/hooks-catalogue/ https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/hook/vmdisk/ Latter adds a virtio disk, you might try to write something based on it. >> >> Unfortunately we cannot upgrade from Fedora 5 at the moment. > > > Neither are possible.

You might try to use a newer kernel. It seems like Fedora 9 or 10 started supporting virtio, so you can try their kernel. No idea if it will work, and what might break.
