If the filename is not prefixed by "blkverify:" in blkverify_parse_filename(), the blkverify driver was not selected through that protocol prefix, but by an explicit command line option (like file.driver=blkverify). Contrary to the current reaction, this is not really a problem; the whole filename just has to be stored (in the x-image option) and the user has to manually specify the x-raw option.
