What's with device numbering at all? Must we really repeat this crazy
Linuxism from xend in libvirt :(
Do you have an alternative ? Because this is commited in CVS and I
would like to get 0.3.2 rolled out ASAP ! So if you have a practical
suggestion or a patch, please post it, I may delay the issue but
just stating 'crazy Linuxism' without specifying why and how this can
be fixed won't help.
thanks !
