Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.16.30-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. qemu-img create ide.img 1G; qemu-img create virtio.img 1G;=20
2. guestfish -x -v add-drive-ro-with-if ide.img ide : add-drive-ro-with-if =
virtio.img virtio : run : list-devices=20
3. no problem with:  guestfish -x -v add-drive ide.img : add-drive virtio.i=
mg  : run : list-devices

  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
this is a regression bug, only happen on 6.4 build, no problem with 6.3 RC build

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-09-28 13:21:09 UTC
I can reproduce this bug in RHEL 6.4.

Upstream, the same command hangs libguestfs ...  This
is not necessarily surprising because (upstream) this
tries to add an IDE disk, a virtio-blk disk, and a virtio-scsi
disk to the same guest, which seems unlikely to work,
and even less likely to be a good idea.

However I will try to fix this for RHEL 6.

Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-09-28 14:09:36 UTC
Fixed upstream in commit d57511e00c9e40ea895edd48953f3ab094a29bb0.

Ignore that.

The correct commit is 6f53d49a27fbf7f1b5c22080e2509375e128d5e4.
