So, yes, we can do more than 4. The only use case for that I've seen so far is QA trying to go to the limits. For all practical purposes I'd expect 4 levels is *way* more than you'll ever need. Especially as the qemu usb hub supports usb 1.1 only. cheers, Gerd -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
