          <div class="PlainText">Hi,<br>
            <br>
            When someone calls nova volume-attach or the
            block-device-mapping <br>
            parameter at boot, it is possible to specify a device name
            for the <br>
            guest. However I couldn't find any guest OS which would
            honor this. E.g. <br>
            with libvirt/kvm, if the guest has two virtio disks already
            (vda and <br>
            vdb), specifying vdf would be ignored and the disk will be
            attached as <br>
            vdc in the guest.<br>
            I propose to deprecate this option and at boot where it is
            not optional <br>
            to accept only auto as an option.<br>
            <br>
            Best regards,<br>
            <br>
