Yes you're right, I just blindly started looking for 30s constants in the code and that one seemed the most obvious but I had not tried to trace it all the way back to the domain start job or checked the debug logs yet, sorry. So looking a bit more carefully I see the real issue is in src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: 321 static int 322 qemuMonitorOpenUnix(const char *monitor, pid_t cpid) 323 { 324 struct sockaddr_un addr; 325 int monfd; 326 int timeout = 30; /* In seconds */ Is this safe to increase? Is there any reason to keep it at 30s given (from what I'm seeing on a fast 2-socket Haswell system) that hugepage backed guests larger than ~160GB memory will not be able to start in that time? -- Cheers, ~Blairo _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
