Hi, It seems like qemu 0.8.0 does not accept image file from a vfat partition. Is it a bug ? Greetings. Yann Le Doaré. strace : open("/mnt/partitions/windows0/qmeu-disk", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 7 read(7, "", 1024) = 0 close(7) = 0 open("/mnt/partitions/windows0/qmeu-disk", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 7 _llseek(7, 128, [128], SEEK_SET) = 0 read(7, "", 4) = 0 close(7) = 0 write(2, "qemu: could not open hard disk i"..., 74qemu: could not open hard disk image '/mnt/partitions/windows0/qmeu-disk' ) = 74 exit_group(1) = ?
Hi!What size is it? Linux only supports vfat (FAT32) partitions with at most 4GB files. A disc image can easily reach that. If the problem is that, the bug is in the kernel, not in qemu. (Just try to copy it an ext2/3 partition. If is isn't possible, or its size differs, the bug has nothing to do with qemu.)
Miklos Gyozops. ext2/3 is surely better than vfat for disc images, cause it supports holes
