QEMU's error reporting for disk configs is known to be worse than
useless.  You can't infer anything useful from "Invalid Argument"
I'm afraid.


I'm going to go out on a limb here and say its an O_DIRECT error. Reason I'm guessing this is that O_DIRECT is not supported on tmpfs and when you attempt to open() a file with O_DIRECT and its not supported you'll get back -EINVAL from the kernel. Newer systems have /run as tmpfs and /var/run symlinked to /run.

Bingo!!!
Thanks Doug.. thats probably the right reason. Moving the file to a diff dir thats not on tmpfs works!
I was abt to start debugging from qemu perspective, but now i think thats not needed.
I wish i had thot abt this earlier... would have saved fews days for me!

thanx,
deepak
