[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1739304] Re: Passing a directory to (eg.) -cdrom results in misleading error message

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert]

Yep, can repeat it here, it seems pretty random which error it gives:

address@hidden try]$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom /tmp
qemu-system-x86_64: -cdrom /tmp: Could not refresh total sector count: Invalid 
argument
address@hidden try]$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom /var
qemu-system-x86_64: -cdrom /var: Could not read image for determining its 
format: File too large
