If we want to permit more than 255 drives to be added, then we will
have to add the disks to the same virtio-scsi target using different
unit (LUN) numbers.
Unfortunately SCSI LUN enumeration in the Linux is not deterministic
(eg. two disks with target=0, lun=[0,1] can be enumerated as /dev/sda
or /dev/sdb randomly). Dealing with that will require some very
complex device name translation on the way in and out of the
appliance.
This commit does _not_ do any of that, but it lays the groundwork so
we could do that in future if the need arises.
Rich.
3:13 a.m.
New subject: [PATCH 1/3] lib: Remove internal details of device name translation from API docs.
Remove much of the text detailing how device name translation
happened. Since we removed support for virtio-blk
(commit 9e0294f88fbb30f592396894c9633041b7b89aaf) and deprecated the
‘iface’ parameter, only /dev/sdX device names should be visible
through the public APIs, both in parameters and in return values from
calls like guestfs_list_devices and guestfs_list_partitions.
Note the above is in fact not true for the UML backend, but UML is
broken in the kernel and in any case this will be fixed later.

=head2 BLOCK DEVICE NAMING
-In the kernel there is now quite a profusion of schemata for naming
-block devices (in this context, by I<block device> I mean a physical
-or virtual hard drive). The original Linux IDE driver used names
-starting with F</dev/hd*>. SCSI devices have historically used a
-different naming scheme, F</dev/sd*>. When the Linux kernel I<libata>
-driver became a popular replacement for the old IDE driver
-(particularly for SATA devices) those devices also used the
-F</dev/sd*> scheme. Additionally we now have virtual machines with
-paravirtualized drivers. This has created several different naming
-systems, such as F</dev/vd*> for virtio disks and F</dev/xvd*> for Xen
-PV disks.
-
-As discussed above, libguestfs uses a qemu appliance running an
-embedded Linux kernel to access block devices. We can run a variety
-of appliances based on a variety of Linux kernels.
-
-This causes a problem for libguestfs because many API calls use device
-or partition names. Working scripts and the recipe (example) scripts
-that we make available over the internet could fail if the naming
-scheme changes.
-
-Therefore libguestfs defines F</dev/sd*> as the I<standard naming
-scheme>. Internally F</dev/sd*> names are translated, if necessary,
-to other names as required. For example, under RHEL 5 which uses the
-F</dev/hd*> scheme, any device parameter F</dev/sda2> is translated to
-F</dev/hda2> transparently.
-
-Note that this I<only> applies to parameters. The
-L</guestfs_list_devices>, L</guestfs_list_partitions> and similar calls
-return the true names of the devices and partitions as known to the
-appliance, but see L</guestfs_canonical_device_name>.
+Libguestfs defines F</dev/sd*> as the I<standard naming scheme> for
+devices passed to API calls. So F</dev/sda> means "the first device
+added by L</guestfs_add_drive_opts>", and F</dev/sdb3> means "the
+third partition on the second device".
+
+Internally device names are sometimes translated, but this should not
+be visible at the API level.

New subject: [PATCH 3/3] generator: Annotate returned strings which are devices or mountables.
Previously the generator did not change any string returned from the
daemon. Thus guestfs_list_devices (for example) might return internal
device names like /dev/vda (if virtio-blk was in use).
This changes calls to the daemon so that returned strings are
annotated as plain strings, devices or mountables:
old ---> new
RString "uuid" RString (RPlainString "uuid")
RString "device" RString (RDevice "device")
RString "fs" RString (RMountable "fs")
For hash tables, keys and values must be annotated separately. For
example a hash table of mountables (keys) -> plain strings (values)
would be annotated like this:
old ---> new
RHashtable "fses" RHashtable (RMountable, RPlainString,
"fses")
The daemon calls reverse_device_name_translation (currently a no-op)
for devices and mountables.
Note that this has no effect for calls which are handled on the
library side.
