Hi everyone,
has there been any work done in the last few months towards hard disk
geometry, so that partition tables / mbr's in raw hard disk files can
be stored for later use?
That's something that would be tremendously useful with the -hda
option, so that one could use a file for a virtual disk and expect
qemu to recognize the partition information from it. Usually if one
does a typical install with a linux distro, the linux install will
format the main hard disk to have 3 partitions (boot,root,swap), but
if it's just a file then that partition / mbr info isn't really
recognized by qemu.
I have no idea what you're talking about. QEMU doesn't care whether you
use a physical disk or a file. It handles geometry the same way.
Is there a concrete example that doesn't work that you think should?

I've been out of the loop w/ what's happening on the bleeding edge
with qemu for a few months, so I thought I'd just ask here.
