[Qemu-discuss] FreeBSD guest causes host kernel warning

2014-07-11 Thread Brian Rak
We've been seeing an issue with FreeBSD 10 x64 guests where they frequently cause kernel warnings on the host. We're using QEMU 2.0.0, on a variety of kernels (we've been seeing this on everything from 2.6.32 all the way up to 3.15.5). We're using a bridged networking setup, and the qemu comm

[Qemu-discuss] Confusing use of VNC port

Failed to start VNC server on `127.0.0.1:4105': Failed to bind socket: Address already in use This error message is *highly* confusing. '127.0.0.1:4105' in any other software would mean it was trying to bind to 127.0.0.1, port 4105. In qemu's terms, it really means port 10005. Why is this l

Why are you using e1000 and not virtio? The virtio drives have significantly better performance Ubuntu should also have native support for them. On 8/17/2014 10:34 PM, JHM wrote: Salutations to all members, first off. This is my first post in the discussion group. I searched for this to

[Qemu-discuss] Virtio-blk and trim

2014-09-30 Thread Brian Rak
Are there any plans to bring trim support to Virtio-blk? We've got a couple things that would be made nicer by having working trim support. I see that it's implemented in virtio-scsi, but there's a decent performance hit for switching over to that.

So, I'm saying LVM on the host. If you have trim/discard enabled, when the guest trims a block, LVM marks that space as not used on the host. It works like this: * Take a guest running on a LVM LV (so, LVM on the host) with a 50GB disk. Assume 1GB in use * Write 30 GB to that disk, and dele

Guests wont start with 15 pcie-root-port devices

In 6.1, a guest with 15 empty pcie-root-port devices will not boot properly - it just hangs on "Guest has not initialized the display (yet).".  As soon as I remove the last pcie-root-port, the guest begins starting up normally.  My qemu command line: /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name guest=xxx,debug
