<div>My apologies as you appear to have
inherited all my unnecessary configuration options on the block
device. As I'm messing around with qemu and I don't really
understand that driver yet I tend to explicitly set every option
so next time I use the VM with a new testing version of qemu my VM
doesn't do unpredictable things because some feature I'm not
messing with got switched on or off.<br>
<br>
You may prefer to always have the author's best settings which in
the general case is usually advisable and is achieved by leaving
parameters implicit. For your config this would be:<br>
<br>
-drive
if=none,format=raw,cache=none,cache.direct=on,file=/media/500GB/win10.img,aio=native,id=ssd2
\<br>
-object iothread,id=iothread2 \<br>
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=ssd2,iothread=iothread2<br>
<br>
Naturally, you will find most authors tend to be cautious about
switching on experimental or risky features, so to test those you
usually have to explicitly set parameters. You can type 'info
qtree' in the qemu console and check the configs parameters if you
are interested in the fine details, but I wouldn't explicitly set
the parameters unless you know you need something.<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks for your detailed post. I believe I have already
changed my script to make sense, thanks to the previous
reply. I've attached it again below. For networking, I am
using a wireless card where I cannot create a bridge, and my
IP changes very often. Is there a simple way to manually
create a tap with this? I wasn't able to get either of the 2
most popular tutorials working. <br>

Thanks,<br>
