QEMU (4.1.0) Connect a usb-sata-hdd
by Luridis from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VKT9)
(Apologies for the original post, it was supposed to be a new thread and somehow ended up a repy, I removed that one since it was off-topic to that thread.)
I've been trying to do this for hours and can't figure out why it is not working. I've dug through dozens of guides, webpages and manuals and none of the examples seem to work completely. So first, here is my ls{pci,usb,scsi} (trimmed):

qemu-system-x86_64 <my other options> -usb -usbdevice disk:/dev/sdc
Doesn't work, warns depreciated, can't find updated version of command, assumed a dead end.
qemu-system-x86_64 <my other options> -hda /dev/sdc
This works for the most part, but things like cgdisk won't work because it prevents writing to block 0. Note the warning:
Code:WARNING: Image format was not specified for '/dev/sdc' and probing guessed raw.
Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.Yet there is no way to secify things like cache=none and format=raw using this method. Though if I boot an archlinux iso, everything appears to be fine, except the sector zero block.
What about connecting via usb: qemu-system-x86_64 <my other options>-usb -device usb-host,hostbus=2,hostaddr=4
NOPE! If I boot from the arch iso the kerenel completely throws a tantrum and keeps disconnecting and reconnecting the drive.
I tried several other methods, virtio-scsi, etc. (complained of no pcie bus)
I'm really lost on this one. Because the -hda method does work with limitations, I just need to know how to do that while specifying a raw format, etc. But nothing I've found explains how to do that. Has anyone managed to connect a usb-sata enclosure drive to qemu and get it properly recognized?
