But how can I get the serial info in the guest os?
General documentation on persistent block device naming (just grabbed
the first useful link of Google):
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Persistent_block_device_naming
If your guest is recent enough it will automatically show the
virtio-blk device in /dev/disk/by-id.
If not, you may be able to check /sys/block/vda/serial yourself. If
that file is not present either your guest doesn't support virtio-blk
serial: either upgrade to a newer guest OS version or use one of the
other persistent naming mechanisms explained in the link above.
