First, thanks to Fabrice for releasing a new kqemu and Juergen Lock for a prompt freebsd port update! I did some testing and have the following to report: The good news: - plan 9 works with kernel-kqemu and user-kqemu. - user mode time in user/kernel kqemu mode is 1/3 of -no-kqemu case for plan

[Qemu-devel] patch to avoid space allocation for zero blocks in the qcow format

2006-04-24 Thread Bakul Shah
The below patch avoids allocating space in the qcow image format when a block of zeroes is being written. No attempt is made to free up space if a previously written block of nonzero data is being overwritten with zeroes. This patch makes a big difference in space use for cases where the s/w want

[Qemu-devel] A number of OSes do not work with kqemu

2006-01-19 Thread Bakul Shah
The three I am aware of are: openbsd, netbsd & plan9. They work fine with -no-kqemu flag. This is under freebsd but I believe the same thing happens under linux. The easiest test case may be plan 9 it seems to dies very early. Download the plan9 .iso from one of http://www.tip9ug.jp/mirror/
