Hi,
It seems like qemu 0.8.0 does not accept image file from a vfat
partition. Is it a bug ?
Greetings.

strace :

read(7, "", 1024) = 0
close(7) = 0
open("/mnt/partitions/windows0/qmeu-disk", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 7

Hi!
What size is it? Linux only supports vfat (FAT32) partitions with at most
4GB files. A disc image can easily reach that.
If the problem is that, the bug is in the kernel, not in qemu. (Just try
to copy it an ext2/3 partition. If is isn't possible, or its size differs,
the bug has nothing to do with qemu.)

ps. ext2/3 is surely better than vfat for disc images, cause it supports
holes
