Yes unfortunately. Though even if you had a patch they may not take it. The correct next step would be an email to the kvm development list (k...@vger.kernel.org) to discuss the behavior and see if such a change has any chance of going upstream. -- virtio block devices names are not recycled htt

Scott, your reading of the code is correct. Currently virtio_blk is not designed to recycle names, and this won't be possible until upstream changes this. closing as invalid as this is the expected behavior. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- virtio block devi

2 things. a.) i just realized that the simple 'index--' wouldn't suffice as that would result in: - add vda - add vdb - add vdc - remove vdb - add vdc !! b.) i did reproduce with the upstream build linux-image-2.6.34-020634-generic . -- virtio block devices names are not recycled https://bugs.la

I do not really have the time to test the upstream kernel. However, looking at the source of drivers/block/virtio_blk.c , I would guess that this bug does exist upstream. My (possibly to quick) read of virtblk_probe and virtblk_remove seem to me to be indicating the static variable "index" and ne
