From: Markus Armbruster <arm...@redhat.com> usb_msd_init() calls qemu_opts_create() with a made-up ID and false fail_if_exists. If the ID already exists, it happily messes up those options, then fails drive_new(), because the BlockDriverState with that ID already exists, too.
Reproducer: -drive if=none,id=usb0,format=raw -usbdevice disk:tmp.qcow2 Pass true fail_if_exists to qemu_opts_create(), and if it fails, try the next made-up ID. The reproducer now succeeds, and creates an usb-storage device with ID usb1.
