Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qapi-schema: Update description for NewImageMode
Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2013 19:47:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1383850068-3903-1-git-send-email-mreitz@redhat.com> (raw)
If the NewImageMode is "absolute-paths" but no backing file is available
(e.g., when mirroring a device with an unbacked image), the target image
will not be backed either. This patch updates the documentation in
qapi-schema.json accordingly.
