 3.6.4 Virtual FAT disk images
 
 QEMU can automatically create a virtual FAT disk image from a directory tree. In order to use it, just type:
 
 qemu linux.img -hdb fat:/my_directory
 
 Then you access access to all the files in the `/my_directory' directory without having to copy them in a disk image or to export them via SAMBA or NFS. The default access is read-only.
 
 Floppies can be emulated with the :floppy: option:
 
 qemu linux.img -fda fat:floppy:/my_directory
 
 A read/write support is available for testing (beta stage) with the :rw: option:
 
 qemu linux.img -fda fat:floppy:rw:/my_directory
 
 What you should never do:
 
 * use non-ASCII filenames ;
 * use "-snapshot" together with ":rw:" ;
 * expect it to work when loadvm'ing ;
 * write to the FAT directory on the host system while accessing it with the guest system.
