[Qemu-devel] [Bug 418112] Re: qemu-img should give reasons for failing

[Vinit Agrawal]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: qemu
  
-   $ kvm-img create -f qcow2 disks/t.img 4000M
-   Formatting 'disks/t.img', fmt=qcow2, size=4096000 kB
-   qemu-img: Error while formatting
+   $ kvm-img create -f qcow2 disks/t.img 4000M
+   Formatting 'disks/t.img', fmt=qcow2, size=4096000 kB
+   qemu-img: Error while formatting
  
  strace shows that the real error was "Permission denied". It should say
  so, using strerror.
