Re: [Qemu-devel] unable to set SATA serial with a spaces

 The left padding is important and necessary to keep for my particular application.  This is broken in libvirt, but works fine with direct Qemu invocation.  

Thank you for the help.

Yes, left pad.  This is a strace of the authorization program via VirtualBox

then the same thing using the serial setting no spaces in QEMU.

data[96]=["\0\200\0\024ABCD1234            \0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"…]

The spaces matter here.


I tried setting the spaces manually running QEMU from the command
line, but that doesn’t work.

tried with quotes around the serial value and also using escpare characters.

No go.

Quoting appears to work for me:

$ echo -e 'info qtree\nq' | qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -S -display none -monitor stdio -drive if=none,id=drv0,file=tmp.qcow2,serial='            ABCD1234' -device ide-hd,drive=drv0 | grep serial
           serial = "            ABCD1234"

Aside: the above uses legacy syntax.  The preferred place for serial is
-device, like this:

   -drive if=none,id=drv0,file=tmp.qcow2
   -device ide-hd,drive=drv0,serial='            ABCD1234'
