[libvirt-users] Adding more disks...

I need a VM with about 6-8 qcow2 disk images, but it seems to only allow 4 disks on the ide, like the real hardware. What lines do you need to add on to the xml definition file to get hde, hdf, hdg, etc?

I did not find documentation but I managed by guessing: <target dev='sde' bus='scsi' /> did the trick. Is this stuff fully documented anywhere?

I got the following ... "The dev attribute indicates the "logical" device name. The actual device name specified is not guaranteed to map to the device name in the guest OS. Treat it as a device ordering hint." ... from here: http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks Cheers Jan
