Last modified: 2011-01-13 18:38:01 EST
Created attachment 455074 [details] Add-drive-readonly-option-to-help-output.patch Description of problem: Since kvm-83-171, -drive supports readonly=on option but this is not reflected in -help. Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -help Actual results: ... -drive [file=file][,if=type][,bus=n][,unit=m][,media=d][,index=i] [,cyls=c,heads=h,secs=s[,trans=t]][,snapshot=on|off] [,cache=writethrough|writeback|none|unsafe][,format=f][,serial=s] [,boot=on|off] ... Expected results: readonly=on|off should be there Additional info: Patch attached.
Verified with kvm-83-207.el5, this problem has been fixed. # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm --help ...... -drive [file=file][,if=type][,bus=n][,unit=m][,media=d][,index=i] [,cyls=c,heads=h,secs=s[,trans=t]][,snapshot=on|off] [,cache=writethrough|writeback|none|unsafe][,format=f][,serial=s] [,boot=on|off][,readonly=on|off]
