We have no choice - QEMU didn't add it....
$ for i in virtio-blk ide-hd scsi-hd usb-storage ; do ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -device $i,? 2>&1 | grep werror ; done
virtio-blk-pci.werror=BlockdevOnError (Error handling policy, report/ignore/enospc/stop/auto)
ide-hd.werror=BlockdevOnError (Error handling policy, report/ignore/enospc/stop/auto)
scsi-hd.werror=BlockdevOnError (Error handling policy, report/ignore/enospc/stop/auto)
Regards,
Daniel
