Hi,
I am using libvirt-4.5.0 + qemu-kvm-ev-2.12.0 and I have a question about
the cdrom function of libvirt. When I tried to attach a CD ROM, it rejected
the operation showing "cdrom/floppy device hotplug isn't supported". I
understand that it should be rejected when the IDE bus is used, but the
hotplug with USB bus is totally feasible, as it's also supported in qemu,
in this case, should it be allowed for hotplug?
Please see https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/261 for the
explanation. Basically it was not implemented originally when
hotpluggable cdrom types were added.
