QEMU's error reporting for disk configs is known to be worse than
useless.  You can't infer anything useful from "Invalid Argument"
I'm afraid.


I'm going to go out on a limb here and say its an O_DIRECT error. Reason I'm guessing this is that O_DIRECT is not supported on tmpfs and when you attempt to open() a file with O_DIRECT and its not supported you'll get back -EINVAL from the kernel. Newer systems have /run as tmpfs and /var/run symlinked to /run.
