Public bug reported: When attach a volume to a windows instance(without specify the device name), this mount point will be always linux format such as /dev/sdb from CLI or the Horizon GUI.
Checking the openstack nova, looks it seems only allow the device name with /dev/* format regardless of any type of instances https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/block_device.py#L562 Just want to query if any consideration for this design? Or some interfaces provided from virt driver layer for the devices name format? ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
