[Qemu-devel] [Bug 588688] [NEW] Hard disk images are supporting ATAPI commands. They should fail.

[Natalia Portillo]

Public bug reported:

When using a hard disk image (qcow, qcow2, vdi, vmdk, bochs), the
emulated device can be a CD-ROM and support ATAPI commands.

These commands fails in real hard disks and these images are not
prepared to handle optical disk formats, they should fail also.

Only images able to handle that formats (dmg, raw, host) should work
with ATAPI commands and CD-ROM devices.
