Sorry, I was mis-remembering the fdset usage. They have to be used via
a numeric ID value, not a named set. The numeric IDs don't match the FD
numbers either. So I think it would be :
virsh qemu-monitor-command --pass-fds 10 --cmd='{"execute": "add-fd", "arguments": {"fdset-id":7}} ?
virsh qemu-monitor-command --cmd='{"execute": "migrate", "arguments": {"detach":true,"blk":false,"inc":false,"uri":"file:/dev/fdset/7,offset=124456"}}
With regards,
Daniel
