[Bug 658610] Re: Check whether images have write permissions

I think what it means that, if the file permission for the disk image in host OS is read only for the user running qemu, then it is not saying that clearly. May be qemu should just exit as soon as it sees that image is read only. I am not sure if in some kind of mode it is possible to run a VM
