Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v4] qemu: format serial and geometry on frontend disk device

Currently we format the serial, geometry and error policy on the -drive backend argument. QEMU added the ability to set serial and geometry on the frontend in the 1.2 release deprecating use of -drive, with support being deleted from -drive in 3.0. We keep formatting error policy on -drive for now, because we don't ahve support for that with -device for usb-storage just yet. Note that some disk buses (sd) still don't support -device. Although QEMU allowed these properties to be set on -drive for if=sd, they have been ignored so we now report an error in this case. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
