Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Fixes to qemu-nbd (--offset/--image-size)
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 11:36:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160920113654.73d4a77a@fiorina> (raw)

The two patches basically "fix" the usage of --offset in qemu-nbd.

The first patch fixes the issue that when offset is used the device size
is not updated and the client may request read/write beyond the end of
the file.

Second patch adds new argument --image-size to hard set the size of the
device. This is useful in combination with --offset when the image is
embedded in a file, but does not span to the end of the file.

Tomáš Golembiovský (2):
  qemu-nbd: Shrink image size by specified offset
  qemu-nbd: Add --image-size option
