Mapping a virtual block device on the guest

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I understand that the option "-drive file=/dev/path/to/host/device,if=virtio" would map the device given in the file parameter as a virtual block device on the guest. Can somebody explain me the roles of virtio-pci and virtio-blk modules on the guest in accessing the virtual block device. I am unable to understand the design.

Thx,

Venkat
