Identifiers must start with a letter, so '111a' isn't considered an valid id. (In reply to Gerd Hoffmann from comment #2) > Identifiers must start with a letter, so '111a' isn't considered an valid id. Hi, Gerd I test this in a rhel6.5/rhel6.4 host, the 111a can be used, so I filed this bug. Can we unify the rule for these 2 products? If identifiers must start with a letter in both rhel6 and rhel7 hosts, we should file a bug against rhel6. So do we need file a bug against rhel6 or reopen this bug for rhel7? Thanks! Qian Guo qemu got better at checking parameters over time, so rhel7 can be more strict than rhel6. So, yes, rhel6 should refuse to accept those too in theory. I doubt it is worth bothering though.

I doubt it is worth bothering though. Hi, Gerd Thank you for your reply, and I found all virtual devices/drivers must start w/ letter in rhel7 and need not in rhel6, so I will file a low low bug in rhel6 to track. Since this is just a bug about the rule of identifiers, I will change the bug summary. Thank you Qian Guo. |
