block/raw-posix: Don't think /dev/fd/<NN> is a floppy drive.
In libguestfs we use /dev/fd/<NN> to pass pre-opened file descriptors
to qemu-img. Lately I've discovered that although this works, qemu
believes that these are floppy disk images. That in itself isn't much
of a problem, but now qemu prints a warning about host floppy
pass-thru being deprecated.
Extend the existing test so that it ignores /dev/fd/ as well as
/dev/fdset/
A simple test of this, if you are using the bash shell, is:
qemu-img info <( cat /dev/null )
without this patch:
$ qemu-img info <( cat /dev/null )
qemu-img: Host floppy pass-through is deprecated
Support for it will be removed in a future release.
qemu-img: Could not open '/dev/fd/63': Could not refresh total sector count: Illegal seek
with this patch:
$ qemu-img info <( cat /dev/null )
qemu-img: Could not open '/dev/fd/63': Could not refresh total sector count: Illegal seek
