Kevin, thanks again. You've provided enough support for me at this point. I had looked at trying to coalesce multiple -drive values into a single one, and that can definitely be made to work with the newer qemu, but i'm not sure I can make it work with older.
the goal there would be to do something like: $ qemu-system-x86_64 \ -drive id=d01,file.filename=disk1.img,format=qcow2,if=none -\ -device virtio-blk,drive=d01,serial=s01 \ -device virtio-blk,drive=d01,serial=s02 on newer qemu, that works if i change 'id=' to 'node-name', but on older qemu I can't convince it to let me have 1 drive associated to multiple -device.
