Description of problem:

Attempting to edit a guest to include huge memory pages with virt-manager doesn't present option.

Options exist at libvirt layer:

Comment 1 Cole Robinson 2020-01-26 18:58:06 UTC
Thanks for the suggestion. I consider memorybacking to be an 'advanced user' option per the recently published design document: https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager/blob/master/DESIGN.md

Though virt-manager 2.2.0 has a raw XML editing tab for domains, so you can manually add the XML yourself. We won't be providing explicit UIhttps://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager/blob/master/DESIGN.md for it though
