Description of problem: commit e7c78b0a94a2c67ff7947a205100ed544bd8fab3 introduced the virtual FAT block device driver. I tried to define it according to the example in the commit log: <disk type='dir' device='floppy'> <source dir='/tmp/test'/> <target dev='fda' bus='fdc'/> <readonly/> </disk> But libvirt returns: libvir: Storage error : cannot read header '/tmp/test': Is a directory Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.8.2-3.fc14 Additional info: I tried to use vfat with qemu-kvm directly. qemu-kvm 0.12.3 fails: qemu-kvm -boot a -m 512 -vga std -vnc 0.0.0.0:7 -drive file=fat:/tmp/test,if=floppy,id=drive-fdc0-0-0,format=raw qemu: could not open disk image fat:/tmp/test: No such file or directory but the latest qemu-kvm from git works (commit 01ac6428a04576ae6f84f07d82c98da304b9ac77)
