Calling virDiskNameToIndex with a disk name > {sd,hd,xvd,vd}z, such as vdaa, generates a bogus index. Account for iterations through the loop. Old behaviour: vda -> 0 vdz -> 25 vdaa -> 0 vdaz -> 25 New behaviour: vda -> 0 vdz -> 25 vdaa -> 26 vdaz -> 51 This was discovered by Sanjay Rao, thanks for the report.
