Okay, I tried a variation of that:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -enable-kvm -m 1536 -pidfile
/home/rick/qemu/hds/wxp.pid -drive file=/home/rick/qemu/hds/wxp.raw,if=virtio
-net nic,model=virtio -net user -localtime -usb -vga qxl -device virtio-serial
-chardev spicevmc,name=vdagent,id=vdagent -device
virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=spice0 -spice port=1234,disable-ticketing
-monitor telnet:localhost:12341,server,nowait
And it's been running stable all day.
The differences between the command line that crashes and yours are:
- yours doesn't have "aio=native" in the -drive declaration.
- yours has some differences in the virtio-serial device declaration.
- yours has some differences in the virtserialport device declaration.
As time permits I'm going to try each of those differences individually.
Thanks,
