Propose: allow user to edit cache, io and bus for each disk Make cache and io part was easy, but i got big trouble to change bus Questions: 1) How we are going to change the bus? Got some issues aroud: A) How to determine available bus? I know there is a function, but is it works with vms with different buses?

B) From OS perspective? How can we deal? Only let the user choose the driver on creation, not update?

The guest/template creation keeps the same. That's not my question. But, in this case: 1) Got a Fedora running on vda 2) Change to sda 3) Fedora will boot? What is going to happen?

The device name is a map in the running system. Kimchi or libvirt can do nothing on that area. From what I remember, the OS uses the device uuid to avoid problems with the device name as it is not guaranteed to have the same device name on boot (at least with multipath devices)
