From: Michael Galaxy <mgalaxy@akamai.com> We start by introducing a backwards-compatible, comma-separated specification that will not break existing installations, such as in the following example: $ cat qemu.conf | grep memory_backing_dir memory_backing_dir = ["/path/to/pmem/0", "/path/to/pmem/1"] (The old syntax with a single string is also still supported) memory_backing_dir = "/path/to/dir" In our case, we almost always have two NUMA nodes, so in that example, we have two PMEM regions which are created on the Linux kernel command line that get mounted into those two locations for libvirt to use.
