Looking through old bug tickets... can you still reproduce this bug with the latest version of QEMU? At least for vvfat, the warning message does not seem to occur anymore. ** Changed in: qemu Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qem

Hi, Indeed using non-raw images should not be used over NBD. The warning however is not superfluous, since qemu does indeed probe the image format, so a malicious guest might write a qcow2 header into the raw image, thus making qemu probe a qcow2 image the next time the same configuration is used.
