Hi, after migrating to libvirt/libxl according to:


Hi,

https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart/Xen4Libvirt

I've noticed that my Xen PV domains are being launched by
qemu-system-i386 running under root privileges.

I am wondering why is this? Previously no qemu process was used.

If qemu is needed for some reason, are there any guidelines for
non-root operation?


In general qemu is used for the following purposes:

- for certain domU disk backend types (image files), and/or if there's no blktap driver in dom0 kernel.
- domU graphical console (PVFB) VNC server, if it's enabled for the domU.
