[libvirt] Effect of cluster size on read write performance
by Pankaj Rawat 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hi all The cluster -size increase write performance when the qcow2 image is not expanded , surely with increase in cluster_size the disk space used increases but that is not my concern. Can anyone tell what is the effect of cluster size on read and write performance on qcow2 image after expantion?

[libvirt] [PATCH] esx: Correctly disable HTTP Expect header usage of libcurl
by Matthias Bolte 21 Feb '12

Adding "Expect:" to the header list stops libcurl from sending a Expect header at all.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/6] (informational) conf support for <interface type='hostdev'>
by Laine Stump 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

This series of patches enhances the domain parser/formatter code to support a sort of "intelligent hostdev", i.e. PCI passthrough where device-type specific initialization is done prior to assigning the device to the guest, in particular to allow setting the MAC address and do 802.1QbX setup for network devices. Rather than adding all of the device-type specific config to <hostdev>, I accomplish this through adding a new type of <interface> element, type='hostdev'. When an interface is type='hostdev' the following is changed: * in the toplevel device, the managed attribute can be specified (with identical results as when it's specified in a <hostdev> * The <source> element can specify a pci address or usb address, just as can be done in <hostdev>. One notable difference is that the type of the address is specified directly in the source <address> element, rather than as an attribute of the toplevel device (that's how it's done for <hostdev>, but for <interface>, the toplevel element's type attribute is already used). These patches include only the parser/formatter, test (for domainschematest, and qemuxml2xmltest only), and doc changes; they still need to be hooked into the domain's device lists (a type=hostdev interface will reside in both the interface list (for configuration and memory management) and hostdev list (for attach/detach, and tracking of which devices are assigned)). I don't intend to push these patches until that part is also done, but some other people are doing work that depends on the changes to config format and data structures, so I'm sending these patches now both to unblock them, as well as to get feedback from everyone else on what needs to be changed. The first 4 patches are just setup for the real new code - they reorder and refactor existing code to allow greater re-use of existing code and easier plugin of the new code. Patch 5/6 is just a couple of lines, and patch 6/6 provides the new functionality.

[libvirt] Network not Persistent
by Shradha Shah 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hello All, I am currently working on patches for PCI-passthrough of SRIOV VF's and I am facing an issue with the network definition not being persistent. I am using a new forward mode = hostdev and the network xml is as follows: <network> <name>pci-passthrough-network</name> <uuid>81ff0d90-c91e-6742-64da-4a736edb9a8f</uuid> <forward mode="hostdev"> <pf dev="eth2"/> </forward> </network> Command line used is: # virsh net-define pci_passthrough_network.xml The network is defined successfully and I can use it at this point. But if I restart libvirt after defining the above network, I lose the network definition. After restart libvirt does not possess any knowledge of the above network. This does not happen when I use forward mode="bridge". I have cross referenced the function call path of networkDefine for both the forwarding modes and I can't seem to find the problem. Is there some function I am missing? May I ask for your help to solve this issue? Many Thanks, Regards, Shradha Shah

[libvirt] [Bug] [vbox-driver] attach-device
by Gravok 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

Hi, using the version from git I can't attach devices to my domain (using attach-device) neither using the virsh or a language binding. In both cases it throws a OutOfMemory exception. It gets thrown in vbox_tmpl.c:5340, although I got 7gb of RAM left. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug ?
