From aab9e87e7a5d280bfbffaa4ea6e296c515c8dac2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Huth Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2017 07:20:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] vl: deprecate the "-hdachs" option If the user needs to specify the disk geometry, the corresponding parameters of the "-device ide-hd" option should be used instead. "-hdachs" is considered as deprecated and might be removed soon.
