Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 16/18] xen: automatically create XenBlockDevice-s

[Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@citrix.com>]

Almost done, there is one thing left which I believe is an issue.
Whenever I attach a raw file to QEMU, it print:
    qemu-system-i386: warning: Opening a block device as a file using the 'file' driver is deprecated

So, I think the comment below isn't true. We should create a "raw"
driver for "raw" files.

raw files should use the "raw" driver, so we aren't done yet.
