Package: qemu-kvm Version: 1.1.2+dfsg-3 Severity: normal kvm doesn't seem to accept mount_tag=/dev/root , and gives a strange series of error messages when attempting to do so:
kvm: -virtfs local,id=root,path=/,mount_tag=/dev/root,security_model=none: Parameter 'id' expects an identifier Identifiers consist of letters, digits, '-', '.', '_', starting with a letter. duplicate fsdev id: /dev/root This breaks the ability to use a virtio 9p filesystem as the root filesystem without using an initramfs, since the kernel always mounts "/dev/root" as the root filesystem. Judging by the error messages, kvm seems to get the id and mount_tag options mixed up; looking at the code, kvm seems to attempt to use mount_tag as the fsdev id, but yet still requires the id option. Please consider fixing this, to unbreak virtio 9p root filesystems.
