[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1358287] [NEW] -readconfig file doesn't interpret memory size correctly

[Christian Theune]

Public bug reported:

I'm running Qemu 2.1 and have issues with the config file format.

Specifically Qemu wrote the following snippet with '-writeconfig':

[memory]
  size = "1024"

However, upon starting a VM with this setting it only receives 128MiB
(the default size).

I'm reverting back to using the command line option now - that works.

Triaging old bug tickets... can you still reproduce this issue with the
latest version of QEMU? Or could we close this ticket nowadays?

[Christian Theune]

Good question. Over time I've got some feedback that the whole config
file mechanism is really just a second class citizen anyway. I'm happy
for now (running 2.7) and don't really care too much.

Nevertheless: I'd be absolutely excited if I could reliably configure
(and have nice documentation that I'd even be willing to help create)
Qemu instances just with a config file ...

Feel free to close this issue to get rid of old cruft ... :)
