Pleae don't rename virtio disks, it is way too late for that:
virtio block driver was merged around 2007, it is not new by

There's no point in renaming device nodes of already deployed drivers.
It'll cause a lot of pain.

And how about the rssd in the patch 3 then?

Probably same. Renaming existing devices will break setups.
I think the idea is to avoid using the
legacy naming in new drivers *that will be added from now on*.

Yeap.

Thanks.
