In libguestfs we use /dev/fd/<NN> to pass pre-opened file descriptors to qemu-img. Lately I've discovered that although this works, qemu believes that these are floppy disk images. That in itself isn't much of a problem, but now qemu prints a warning about host floppy pass-thru being deprecated. Extend the existing test so that it ignores /dev/fd/ as well as /dev/fdset/ A simple test of this, if you are using the bash shell, is: qemu-img info <( cat /dev/null ) without this patch: $ qemu-img info <( cat /dev/null ) qemu-img: Host floppy pass-through is deprecated Support for it will be removed in a future release. qemu-img: Could not open '/dev/fd/63': Could not refresh total sector count: Illegal seek with this patch: $ qemu-img info <( cat /dev/null ) qemu-img: Could not open '/dev/fd/63': Could not refresh total sector count: Illegal seek Signed-off-by: Richard W.M.
