[pve-devel] [PATCH v4 serries 0/4] disk reassign: add new feature

[Dominic Jäger]

Gave it a quick test: Moving some disks from one VM to another on a CIFS
storage worked for me.  Had to do some conflict resolution upon application
though.
=> If (there is more feedback and) you rebase it, then I can test it (+ GUI) more thoroughly :)

I would probably rename the parameter name drive_key for qm to something that
already exists in our code, because to me it looks like we have different names
for it already
 - Bus/Device in the GUI
 - the word (ide, scsi)  is called Bus/Controller in man qm
 - the word is called interface (of a drive) in QemuServer.pm
 - we have $deviceid =~ m/^(virtio)(\d+)$/ in qemu-server, so the whole word+integer
 - and also "my $drive_id = "$drive->{interface}$drive->{index}";
 - we have "{drive_name} may be used to specify ide0, scsi1, etc ..." in the (old) Importdisk.pm
 - and in ControllerSelector.js the first half is controller and the integer is deviceid

And for me it would make sense to minimize those differences.
