Yep, but as a user, good luck finding out the syntax you have to provide for that - AFAIK its not documented in any of our user facing docs. What everyone knows is the syntax accepted by the -drive command, so I figure we should allow it everywhere. I didn't even know about the ability to use json until Kevin mentioned it to me last time I asked about this :-) Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
