I have a qemu VM started by an orchestration script, which creates transient tap interfaces. When I inspect the command line arguments of the qemu-system-x86_64 process, then I can see, that the process connects to already opened tap interface with the file descriptor 27:
In the past I have used Virtual Box which has very good support for sharing a folder on the host with a Windows guest. I am looking for similar functionality for QEMU.
I compiled a Linux by doing make menuconfig then make and now I have compiled the most recent version of Linux. How can I load the kernel into QEMU?
I’m launching a VM using qemu-system-x86_64. I know two ways to pass through a USB device.
How do I setup ssh from the host to the guest using qemu? I am able to use port redirection when I boot the VM without any special parameters, as follows:
I’m having an instance of qemu running on Windows 7, running without an open terminal. Now I want to shutdown the machine with the name MyMachineName or add an USB-Device to it.
I need a scriptable solution. Libvirt is not a solution, because it has other disadvantages for my system.
I’ve read that with qemu-nbd and the network block device kernel module, I can mount a qcow2 image. I haven’t seen any tutorials on mounting a qcow2 via a loop device. Is it possible? If not, why?
I have the current libvirt 1.2.20
i want to pass to my machine create with virt-manager
some qemu flags.
I edited the file and add
The arch wiki recommends that images have Copy-On-Write disabled on the directory when using btfs. I do see that it would be a good idea if you had a lot of file read/writes. This question explores this idea. I know that VMWare will grow into different files and will write snapshots out which could be problematic when using Copy-On-Write.
