KVM virtualization is full of wonders. :-/
I would need to attach an USB disk to a vm, but how?
The command "qemu" would provide a way:
[root@a134-224 yum.repos.d]# man qemu-kvm
QEMU(1) NAME qemu-doc - QEMU Emulator User Documentation
SYNOPSIS usage: qemu [options] [disk_image]
(...)
-usbdevice devname Add the USB device devname.
But when I try it:
[root@a134-224 yum.repos.d]# qemu start -usbdevice host:059f:1018 mail -bash: qemu: command not found
That command syntax is probably ot right yet, but the main question is, where is qemu?
I was tempted to yum-install qemu from rpmforge, but I would rather not. Besides the rpmforge version has a conflict with another manual page.
Yeah, you hit a bug in the man page.
Because qemu-kvm (thats the right name) is not meant to run directly it resides here:
# rpm -ql kvm|grep qemu /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm /usr/share/man/man1/qemu-kvm.1.gz
So # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm
should get you going.
