Xen -> KVM upgrade experiences?

I'm still on a Xen host and really should get off my butt and upgrade it to KVM.

For those who have gone through this, did you have any problems?

One thing I've been wondering is how the block device naming scheme change is dealt with. Does the upgrade automatically go into /etc/fstab and change things over to use /dev/sdX?

Hi,

If you're running a custom or distribution kernel, you'll probably have to do some customization, but if you're running with the Linode kernel and you've not customized any boot or fstab information, it should upgrade smoothly. It did with me, and there weren't any problems with the system when I finished the upgrades.
