[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server 15/22] vm start/commandline: activate volumes before config_to_command()

Fiona Ebner f.ebner at proxmox.com
Thu Jun 12 16:02:46 CEST 2025


With '-blockdev', it is necessary to activate the volumes to generate
the command line, because it can be necessary to check whether the
volume is a block device or a regular file.
