Subject: [PATCH qemu-server v2 1/2] refactor checks for absolute path as drive
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 11:52:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722095251.89606-2-t.ellmenreich@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722095251.89606-1-t.ellmenreich@proxmox.com>
Previously there were a bunch of separate checks for whether a drive was
an absolute path. These have been refactored to use two checks in
QemuServer::Drive and QemuServer::Helpers.
