[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1685526] [NEW] UEFI firmware can't write to "fake" FAT hard disk

[Ronsor]

Public bug reported:

Using the Tianocore OVMF UEFI firmware, a UEFI application cannot write
to the emulated fat disk (-hda fat:rw:path/here). A file will get
created or written, but will be corrupted.

Looking through old bug tickets ... When reporting issues, please
provide proper information on the versions that you were using (QEMU,
OVMF, ...) and complete information about which command line parameters
you used to start QEMU.
