Qemu img drivers#
A few device drivers still have incomplete snapshot support so their.They cannot cope with removable devices if they are removed or.VM snapshots currently have the following known limitations: ( disk_images_snapshot_mode), you can always make VM snapshots,īut they are deleted as soon as you exit QEMU. When using the (unrelated) -snapshot option

The video driver needed for Xorg inside QEMU is xf86-video-modesetting. If on your host you now add a MASQUERADE rule for tap0 to your host's default nic, and you turn on ip_forward on your host, you can now do svn updates, surf, run tranmission, etc right from your qemu guest. In your alpinebox, create an interfaces file like this:
The qemu-ifup script is what does that for the host. So you need to assign ip addresses to BOTH sides of the tunnel. What's actually happening is you are effectively creating a point-to-point tunnel, with the phys tap0 device being one endpoint, and the virtual box's eth0 being on the other point of the tunnel. Now your alpine guest will have 3 NICs, mapped to tap0, tap1, and tap2 respectively. net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap2,script=./qemu-ifup -net nic,vlan0 \ net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap1,script=./qemu-ifup -net nic,vlan0 \ To create a qemu guest with more than one nic, just repeat the -net commands Qemu -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0,script=./qemu-ifup -net nic,vlan0 \ So to have a single NIC on the qemu virtual system that is connected to tap0 on the physical host: You need 2 net commands on the command line interface, one for the host: The key is to define the virtual network interface on the correct virtual vlan, and the correct ifup script. To get networking running correctly, you can use the tun/tap interface, which then becomes a real interface. The next reboot then loads the generated apkovl and apkcache found on /dev/vda1 - completely running-from-ram based on the latest official ISO.
