Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2 1/2] qemu: make attaching disk partition to VM illegal

The way in which the qemu driver generates aliases for disks involves ignoring the partition number part of a target dev name. This means that all partitions of a block device and the device itself all end up with the same alias. If multiple such disks are specified in XML, the resulting name clash makes qemu invocation fail. Since attaching partitions to qemu VMs doesn't seem to make much sense anyway, disallow partitions in target specifications altogether. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1346265 Signed-off-by: Pavel Mores <pmores(a)redhat.com&gt; --- src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 15 +++++++++++ .../disk-attaching-partition-nosupport.xml | 27 +++++++++++++++++++ tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c | 1 + 3 files changed, 43 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/disk-attaching-partition-nosupport.xml
