This at least is a useful debugging tool, but is also wanted by users (and distributors): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=559154 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=573850 Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso(a)redhat.com&gt; --- src/qemu/qemu.conf | 5 +++++ src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 5 +++++ src/qemu/qemu_conf.h | 2 +- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 11 +++++++++-- 4 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu.conf b/src/qemu/qemu.conf index 98a1176..b976dcc 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu.conf +++ b/src/qemu/qemu.conf @@ -178,3 +178,8 @@ # QEMU_AUDIO_DRV environment variable when using VNC. # # vnc_allow_host_audio = 0 +# + +# If clear_emulator_capabilities is enabled, libvirt will drop all POSIX +# capabilities of the QEmu/KVM emulator.
