Hi, I'm currently trying to implement device custom properties infrastructure in ovirt-engine. During discussion with Yair, we found out, that it's not clear, for what type of devices custom properties should be available? In engine we have the VmDeviceType enum which contains following values: FLOPPY("floppy", "14"), DISK("disk", "17"), CDROM("cdrom", "15"), INTERFACE("interface", "10"), BRIDGE("bridge", "3"), VIDEO("video", "20"), USB("usb", "23"), CONTROLLER("controller", "23"), REDIR("redir", "23"), SPICEVMC("spicevmc", "23"), QXL("qxl"), CIRRUS("cirrus"), SOUND("sound"), ICH6("ich6"), AC97("ac97"), MEMBALLOON("memballoon"), SMARTCARD("smartcard"), BALLOON("balloon"), OTHER("other", "0"), UNKNOWN("unknown", "-1"); But VmDevice class has two String attributes device and type. So for example a disk is a device which has device set to disk and type set to disk (according to VmDeviceCommonUtils.isDisk method). So my question is, if I have a custom properties for disk, will they be available for all disk devices (disk, cdrom, floppy, ...) or only for real disk? So should we support custom properties for all VmDeviceType enum value separately? Thanks for suggestions Martin
