I would like to hire someone to do some open source surgery. specifically, I would like someone to modify the disk driver to allow me to add some basic standalone hooks. every time a guest wants to read or write a sector to the drive, I want my own C routines on the host to be called. my C routines, in a separate standalone file, should have the ability to do such things as log the request, rewrite the request (e.g., write to a different sector and/or use my own hashing encryption/decryption etc), and/or tell the disk driver not to execute the request but return an error. ideally, I don't need to learn kvm internals, but get a standalone template with example use. comp negotiable. in addition, I have an unrelated request. I would like to get some basic help to get Windows 10 installed. it was easy to install a ubuntu guest on a ubuntu host, but I could not get a standard windows 10 guest onto my ubuntu host. I am not asking for something special here...this should have worked without effort right out of the box. I was surprised that it did not. having someone with expertise should just make the troubleshooting easier. please drop me an email if you can help. regards, /iaw -- Ivo Welch (ivo.welch@xxxxxxxx) http://www.ivo-welch.info/
