From: Thomas Huth
Subject: [Qemu-block] [PATCH v3] Issue a deprecation warning if the user specifies the "-hdachs" option.
Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2017 07:20:54 +0200

If the user needs to specify the disk geometry, the corresponding
parameters of the "-device ide-hd" option should be used instead.
"-hdachs" is considered as deprecated and might be removed soon.

Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <address@hidden>

 v3:
 - Recommend to use the parameters of -device ide-hd instead
 - Also add the deprecation warning to the documentation
