You can set this variable for any disk by changing the variable name (e.g. HDA_DRIVER, HDC_DRIVER, etc.) to correspond to the disk for which you want the driver set. If you are using an SSD card and you want the fstrim command available, set the driver to scsi. The value can be any value supported by kvm. invoke screen correctly across an API break. 2017-05-21T18:40:31+00:00 Daniel Kahn Gillmor dkg@fifthhorseman.net 2017-05-21T18:40:31+00:00 urn:sha1:9a5037f1e1ffcde13c28d366e05f3c327e566386 See https://bugs.debian.org/863095 about the need for this change. note that the argument to -L duplicates the "logfile" entry in screenrc.kvm-manager. more robust version comparison 2017-05-21T18:37:55+00:00 Daniel Kahn Gillmor dkg@fifthhorseman.net 2017-05-21T18:37:55+00:00 urn:sha1:4e73aa0a0927c4a759cace2cf75a350b38aa93a4 a version of kvm like 2.4.10 would have claimed to be greater than 2.6.0 using the existing comparison. we'll rely on dpkg's implementation of version comparisons instead. this does make kvm-manager more specific to debian and debian-derived systems, but if folks who prefer other systems want to offer patches, they would be happily accepted :) build_disk_io_params needs the name of the variable, not its value 2017-05-21T17:58:02+00:00 Daniel Kahn Gillmor dkg@fifthhorseman.net 2017-05-21T17:58:02+00:00 urn:sha1:68335b6217f96cbfca8a89e924335d37e2c7d0f6 I have no idea how this ever worked in the past! kvm --version has multiple lines of output these days 2017-05-21T17:51:10+00:00 Daniel Kahn Gillmor dkg@fifthhorseman.net 2017-05-21T17:51:10+00:00 urn:sha1:8019a9f4e7d50026e659dd781bdb86b47970c5fa screen 4.5.0 and later expects an argument for -L 2017-05-21T17:36:19+00:00 Daniel Kahn Gillmor dkg@fifthhorseman.net 2017-05-21T17:36:19+00:00 urn:sha1:7762816995a43678da79430a13a06b64a99fd55a before stretch, screen took no argument for -L, and we relied on the screenrc to indicate the name of the logfile. in stretch, screen's -L takes an argument -- and it complains if the argument following -L starts with a -. This is a breaking API change :/ so this patch can't go into versions before stretch. more markdown cleanup 2017-02-07T20:57:37+00:00 Daniel Kahn Gillmor dkg@fifthhorseman.net 2017-02-07T20:57:37+00:00 urn:sha1:f1da1755adc315af866fb5d5e5fd0a04325b12a4 more markdown cleanup 2017-02-07T20:57:10+00:00 Daniel Kahn Gillmor dkg@fifthhorseman.net 2017-02-07T20:57:10+00:00 urn:sha1:722dd6be8182c33537a99cc80add34c3fc2c644d
