Public bug reported:

When attach a volume to a windows instance(without specify the device
name), this mount point will be always linux format such as /dev/sdb
from CLI or the Horizon GUI.

Checking the openstack nova, looks it seems only allow the device name
with /dev/* format regardless of any type of instances

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/block_device.py#L562

Just want to query if any consideration for this design? Or some
interfaces provided from virt driver layer for the devices name format?
