The Xen impl as coded only works for disks named xvdN, because the code for calculating device ID assumes xvdN device numbering scheme:

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 !
