This commit allows the virtio block device to resolve disk image paths starting with ~ to the user's home directory, making it more convenient. Additionally, it adds error handling for cases where the -x vblk: option is used without specifying a path.
Testing
Expectation
GuestOS is bootable and
~/disk_test.img
is accessible via/dev/vda
.Summary by cubic
Enable ~ expansion in virtio-blk disk paths and add clear errors for invalid input. Users can now pass ~/disk.img; we resolve it to HOME and fail fast on empty paths or missing HOME.
