From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefa...@redhat.com> The following O_DIRECT read from a <512 byte file fails:
$ truncate -s 320 test.img $ qemu-io -n -c 'read -P 0 0 512' test.img qemu-io: can't open device test.img: Could not read image for determining its format: Invalid argument Note that qemu-io completes successfully without the -n (O_DIRECT) option. This patch fixes qemu-iotests ./check -nocache -vmdk 059.
