[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#492254: specifying virtio disks doesn't work

[Guido Trotter]

Package: libvirt
Version: 0.4.4-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

If I ask libvirt to use virtio disks by putting bus='virtio' in my
config this gets ignored and -hda, -hdb get passed to qemu/kvm, while I
would have expected someting similar to:

 -drive file=/path/to/file,format=raw,if=virtio

Btw it should also accept 'vdX' as a dev, as that's the name used by virtio...

Thanks,

Guido
