+drive del
+----------
+
+Remove host block device.  The result is that guest generated IO is no longer
+submitted against the host device underlying the disk.  Once a drive has
+been deleted, the QEMU Block layer returns -EIO which results in IO 
+errors in the guest for applications that are reading/writing to the device.
+
+Arguments:
+
+- "id": the device's ID (json-string)
+
+Example:
+
+-> { "execute": "drive_del", "arguments": { "id": "drive-virtio-blk1" } }
+<- { "return": {} }
