I'm playing with ext4 and DAX. I'm using:
-object memory-backend-file,id=mem1,share,mem-path=/var/tmp/pmem,size=4G \ -device nvdimm,memdev=mem1,id=nv1 where /var/tmp/pmem is a 4 GB ext4 filesystem image (no partition table). I can mount this in the guest using: mount -o dax /dev/pmem0 /mnt and everything appears to work. I read in the mailing list that the pmem file has some internal structure for storing config data, stored in the last 128 KB of the file. Is that still the case?
