[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 for-1.5 2/4] block: Add hint to -EFBIG error mess


From: Kevin Wolf
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 for-1.5 2/4] block: Add hint to -EFBIG error message
Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 16:14:34 +0200

The limit of qcow2 files at least depends on the cluster size. If the
image format has a cluster_size option, suggest to increase it.
