I use KVM all the time and manage it with virt-manager. (1) Make sure that network and disk use VirtIO para-virtual driver, do not emulate physical devices.
(2) Don't use qcow2, its really slow. Pre-allocate your boot drive: touch myboot.raw truncate -s SIZE myboot.raw The above will let you define a large thin-provisioned disk. If you have LVM or ZFS you can create a logical volume or zvol, but I think the thin provisioned "sparse" file may be faster because of the double caching. > On 10/18/21 9:20 PM, Edward wrote: >> I missed a setting, found it afterwards, it defaults to Virtual Network >> (NAT) and the box to start it automatically was initially not checked. >> >> It's working now. >> > > And it (take your pick): > > * is slow as molasses > * runs at a snail's pace > > > Not even worth using.
