Subject: [Qemu-devel] [BUG] Regression: readonly raw images no longer work
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2010 22:40:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B771C34.4040308@mail.berlios.de> (raw)
This command used to work, but fails now:
$ i386-softmmu/qemu -snapshot /dev/sda
qemu: could not open disk image /dev/sda: Permission denied
$ ls -l /dev/sda
brw-rw-r-- 1 root disk 8, 0 13. Feb 08:55 /dev/sda
The original file of a snapshot needs only read access,
but QEMU tries read/write access and fails.
Variants of above command using -hda or -drive
also fail with the same error message.
I did not test whether the regression affects other
kinds of images, too. Maybe only raw images trigger
no longer work.
Regards
Stefan Weil
