From qemu-kvm mainstream discussion I understand that because of regression issue they have disabled this feature. Any idea when it will be implemented ? And can we have some meaning full information displayed till this comment implemented ? something like below : --> "Currently this feature is not supported." Thanks Vasant ------- Comment From pradeepkumars.com 2011-05-16 04:39 EDT------- Hello Redhat ANy updates? Bug 626958 tracks re-adding virtio balloon stats. Adam Litke from IBM was pursuing the fixes upstream. It looks like this won't be ready before the new QAPI is merged upstream. Marking as duplicate of the other bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 626958 *** |
