The values are incremented throughout the system. So if you have two VMs running it will give you the sum of the two. They are also not limited in time. To read the stats out, I can recommend Avi's kvm_stat tool: http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git;a=blob;f=scripts/kvm/kvm_stat;h=56d2bd7f2125bc897959f1f1103c8151cd98e0a8;hb=HEAD Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm-ppc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
