Klaus, just to make sure I understand correctly, this implements multiple namespaces for *emulated* NVMe, right? I'm asking because I just merged libvirt patches to support: -drive file.driver=nvme,file.device=0000:01:00.0,file.namespace=1,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0 -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 and seeing these patches made me doubt my design. But if your patches touch emulated NVMe only, then libvirt's fine because it doesn't expose that just yet. Michal
