Description of problem: I would like to set the type of driver device(aio/sync ...etc), when I install the guest domain. But there is no option on virt-install, so I can not specify any type. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virtinst 0.103.0(changeset 205) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install the guest domain # virt-install ... Actual results: We can not specify the type of driver device. Expected results: We can specify the type of driver device. Additional info: I attached the patch that I added the option to choose the type of driver device. virt-install help: --drvtype=DRVTYPE Type of driver device, e.g. 'aio', 'qcow', 'vmdk', 'sync'
Created attachment 158326 [details] added the option
Having driver as a command line option seems useful, but virt-install prompting the user for a driver on a "guided" install is not the best idea: the info is not needed as we can choose a working default, and it is probably too advanced for most people using the guided install. Could you remove that portion of the patch, and post it to et-mgmt-tools for a wider audience? Thanks!
Many thanks for reviewing this BZ. I had already posted it, and I understood the option which I added was not really useful option, because its only used by Xen paravirt. c.f. the thread at: https://www.redhat.com/archives/et-mgmt-tools/2007-July/msg00001.html And, it will be too advanced for installing as you said. So, could you close this BZ ? Thanks, Saori Fukuta
Ah sorry, must have missed when that patch came by on the list. Thanks for the pointer, closing this as WONTFIX.
