Yes I had a hard time finding a command-line working both on intel and
arm systems.
if=virtio === -device
virtio-blk-pci,drive=DRIVE-ID,class=C,vectors=V,ioeventfd=IOEVENTFD
according to :
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/docs/qdev-device-use.txt
I submitted an updated version of this patch in the same serie. It adds
"format=xxx" parameter to avoid this kind of warnings :
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
WARNING: Image format was not specified for ... and probing guessed raw.
Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write
operations on block 0 will be restricted.
Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Thanks,
Mathieu
