I think adding a simple (suppressable) warning on startup would be sufficient in case of a ro image.On Friday 09 February 2007 6:06 pm, Paul Brook wrote:If you really want to do this, do it properly. Make it an error to use a ro image if the user [implicitly] requests rw access.Sure, but there are plenty of other ways to accidentally mess up the permissions of a disk image file. A while back I had to strace qemu to figure out why file modifications were vanishing after rebooting the VM; the culprit turned out to be an unrelated script that had set the image file's mode to 444.If there's no middle ground between "silently misbehave" and "refuse to start if anything _might_ be wrong", then why does current qemu warn about the 1024 hz thing?Just curious. Refusing to start would have saved me a day's debugging time, just like the warning would have...Rob
