Yes, I know! Why is there this restriction? I have the following scenario: I have a "recover vm" with one bootable disk attached. Now I want to repair some broken configs from another vm’s boot disk. First I unattach the device from the broken vm. If I forget to remove the bootable flag, then I have to attach the disk again to the broken vm. I remove the bootable flag and attach the disk to my „recover vm“. This is quite a long way round. This could be a feature request, right? best regards Andreas Am 12.02.2014 um 16:37 schrieb Dafna Ron <dron@redhat.com>:

I suggest you open a bugzilla at bugzilla.redhat.com tagged as [RFE] (request for enhancement) otherwise you won't get your feature. But thanks for bringing this issue up!

There was a talk in the past to allow edit of the disk as its own entity it but I think that some of the disk params are vm dependent so editing them for disk only are a problem. Ayal, do you remember why editing the disk on it's own was not implemented? On 02/13/2014 07:33 AM, andreas.ewert@cbc.de wrote:

Simply because we haven't gotten around to it yet. You are correct that the edit screen would not be the same since some properties are only relevant in a VM context (interface, read-only, etc) which means we need a different screen there which is why it isn't a 5m job. Patches welcome ;)
