Hi, I am trying to host KVM machines on an NFSoRDMA mount. This works: -drive file=/mnt/vm001.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 This Doesn't! -drive file=/mnt/vm001.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw,cache=none -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=2 Any ideas why this could be? Thanks, Andrew dmesg: vda: vda: vda1 vda: vda1 vda: vda1 vda2 vda: vda1 vda2 vda: vda1 vda2 vda3 vda: vda1 vda2 vda3 vda: vda1 vda2 vda3 vda4 < > vda: vda1 vda2 vda3 vda4 < > vda: vda1 vda2 vda3 vda4 < vda5 > vda: vda1 vda2 vda3 vda4 < vda5 > vda: vda1 vda2 vda3 vda4 < vda5 vda6 > vda: vda1 vda2 vda3 vda4 < vda5 vda6 > Adding 15998968k swap on /dev/vda5.
