So this machine is using LVM as the filesystem, but, apparently, the default is not virtio as in cloudmin under Edit System -> Advanced KVM settings, it says the KVM disk driver is IDE. So, I suppose I should enable that in cloudmin settings as the default.
But for existing machines, can this be changed via Cloudmin? If so, how?
Howdy,
I asked Jamie about this – he says it’s unfortunately not possible to change that setting for existing VM’s.
The problem is that it would cause a lot of devices and file paths to change, which would in turn cause the system to not boot.
It sounds like the only workaround would be to provision a new VM, and then to migrate your existing VM over to the new one.

Actually, I was able to make it work by changing only a couple of things… One was the /etc/webmin/servers/*.serv file to say virtio instead of IDE.
Second, was to change /etc/fstab on the virtual machine to use vdb1 instead of sdb1.
Third was to change /boot/grub/grub.conf to use vdb1.
That’s all it took. So, it would be possible to change Cloudmin I would think to do the same.
