I had to name it something, and slow seemed appropriate, given the kind of drives used in the RAID. <g> >> -net nic,macaddr=de:ad:be:ef:00:15,model=virtio \ >> -net tap,ifname=tap_15,script=no,downscript=no \ > > Try switching from the obsolete -net tap to current > -netdev syntax.

I read that document, and I'd just like to thank you for making me feel stupid. :D Honestly, I didn't understand half of what that doc were saying, so I don't feel comfortable trying my hand at this new syntax. Most of my qemu-kvm "knowledge" have come from this page: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/HOWTO How would my current -net setup translate into the new method? Also I see in the doc mentioned, that this new -device method is also available as a replacement for -soundhw and -vga. Those two I do think I understand. hehe Regards, Thomas Løcke -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
