[PATCH] qemu: raise an error when trying to use readonly ide disks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The IDE bus doesn't support readonly disks, so inform the user with an
error message instead of let qemu fail with a more obscure "Device
'ide-hd' could not be initialized" error message.

Closes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1112939
