Part with mentioned error was rewritten, can you please retest the bz and test the error message state?
(In reply to Miroslav Rezanina from comment #2) > Part with mentioned error was rewritten, can you please retest the bz and > test the error message state? Retried it with the latest qemu-kvm version that it will give a message prompt "vmdk: Operation not supported". But still not as expected, you should refer to bug 999788#c7 that should give message prompt like: vmdk' can be only used as read-only device. host info: 3.10.0-41.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.5.3-13.el7.x86_64 e.g:...-drive file=/home/vmdk-data-disk.vmdk,if=none,id=drive-data-disk,format=vmdk,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,drive=drive-data-disk,id=data-disk -vnc :1 -monitor stdio qemu-kvm: -drive file=/home/vmdk-data-disk.vmdk,if=none,id=drive-data-disk,format=vmdk,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop: could not open disk image /home/vmdk-data-disk.vmdk: Operation not supported Best Regards, sluo
