From b44a6b09705e9e8a3005229b58de36d176020548 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kurz Date: Fri, 17 May 2019 17:34:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] virtfs: Fix documentation of -fsdev and -virtfs This fixes several things: - add "id" description to -virtfs documentation - split the description into several lines in both usage and documentation for accurateness and clarity - add documentation and usage of the synth fsdriver - add "throttling.*" description to -fsdev local - add some missing periods - add proper reference to the virtfs-proxy-helper(1) manual page - document that the virtio device may be either virtio-9p-pci, virtio-9p-ccw or virtio-9p-device, depending on the machine type Buglink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1581976 Signed-off-by: Greg Kurz Acked-by: Thomas Huth --- qemu-options.hx | 93 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- 1 file changed, 66 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) diff --git a/qemu-options.hx b/qemu-options.hx index e54c56593b..5daa5a8fb0 100644 --- a/qemu-options.hx +++ b/qemu-options.hx @@ -1232,26 +1232,35 @@ the write back by pressing @key{C-a s} (@pxref{disk_images}).
