Hope this is helpful in some way. Thanks, that's some good information. However, I don't think you should start from media=cdrom. libvirt already does specify readonly=on and that is the property you're really interested in. Since commit 528f7663 (released with 0.13) the 'change' command should keep the read-only flag for all kinds of media. Now I'm not sure where you lost the read-only flag. At least on git master it doesn't seem to reproduce for me. Kevin

Since pretty much every cdrom drive use scsi today, shouldnt the readonly/writeable flag for MMC devices rather be done down in the hw/scsi* code rather than the generic block code? If/when/ever I get enough time I would like to port the writeable dvd+r emulation I wrote for STGT to qemu. In STGT, MMC/DVD devices can be either read-only or read-write. If the filesize for the backing file is >0 bytes, it is assumed the file is an iso image and that the file is a read-only iso image. If filesize is ==0, then the file is opened read-write and is treated as a "blank dvd+r disk that the initiator can write/burn to" regards ronnie sahlberg On Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 6:47 PM, Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> wrote: > Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> writes: > >> Am 02.08.2012 09:20, schrieb Kevin Shanahan: >>> On Thu, Aug 02, 2012 at 02:49:52PM +0930, Kevin Shanahan wrote: >>>> On Thu, Aug 02, 2012 at 11:46:13AM +0930, Kevin Shanahan wrote: >>>>> On Thu, Aug 02, 2012 at 11:02:42AM +0930, Kevin Shanahan wrote: >>>>>> Set the block driver read_only flag for cdrom devices so that >>>>>> qmp_change_blockdev does not attempt to open cdrom files in read-write >>>>>> mode when changing media. >>>>> >>>>> Hrm, this fixes my simple test case using the kvm monitor directly but >>>>> changing media via libvirt still has the same issue (fails for RO >>>>> files, succeeds for writable files). >>>>> >>>>> $ virsh attach-disk --type cdrom --mode readonly test1 >>>>> /srv/kvm/iso/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso hdc >>>>> error: Failed to attach disk >>>>> error: internal error unable to execute QEMU command 'change': >>>>> Could not open '/srv/kvm/iso/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso' >>>>> >>>>> I'll keep looking into it. >>>> >>>> In the libvirt case, it seems libvirt is failing to add media=cdrom to >>>> the commandline, so in this case qemu is defaulting to media=disk and >>>> my proposed fix has no effect.

There are two separate things that can be read-only: device models and BlockDriverStates. -drive's parameter readonly applies to the top BlockDriverState. Some device models default their read-only-ness to their BlockDriverState's. Examples: * Device models ide-cd and scsi-cd are always read-only. They don't care whether the BlockDriverState that backs them is. * Device model ide-hd is always read-write. It fails initialization when its BlockDriverState is read-only. * Device model scsi-hd supports both read-only and read-write. It's read-only iff its BlockDriverState is. * -drive if={ide,scsi},media=cdrom implies readonly=on, and creates an {ide,scsi}-cd device. * -drive if={ide,scsi},media=disk creates an {ide,scsi}-hd device (media=disk is the default). * -drive without readonly=on fails when the image isn't writable. > If/when/ever I get enough time I would like to port the writeable > dvd+r emulation I wrote for STGT to qemu. > > > In STGT, MMC/DVD devices can be either read-only or read-write. > If the filesize for the backing file is >0 bytes, it is assumed the > file is an iso image and that the file is a read-only iso image. > If filesize is ==0, then the file is opened read-write and is treated > as a "blank dvd+r disk that the initiator can write/burn to" I doubt keying on the backing file size is a good idea, too obscure. Why would keying on the BlockDriverState's read-only-ness not work?

Right, now it breaks for me as well. The difference is that when I tried on Monday, I didn't use an empty drive. Kevin
