[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1296882] [NEW] add next free device option to qemu-img

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

Public bug reported:

I'd like to propose an option to be added to qemu-img which returns the
next free NBD (the device file) very similar to losetup -f. It would
make life a lot easier.

Followers of this enhancement request might be interested in the
following workaround: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22535222/next-
