From ffd8e8ffd5410ecea17c62785bf445b7ecddd8d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Wolf Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2019 11:09:21 +0200 Subject: qemu-img convert: Deprecate using -n and -o together bdrv_create options specified with -o have no effect when skipping image creation with -n, so this doesn't make sense. Warn against the misuse and deprecate the combination so we can make it a hard error later.
