[15:12] <xnox> cyphermox, https://wiki.canonical.com/UbuntuEngineering/Foundations/NVMe instructions on how to boot qemu-kvm with uefi and NVMe drive
[15:13] <xnox> i dont' know if using recent qemu if that would work for legacy mode too.
[15:13] <xnox> at the time only edk has the drivers for nvme drive, and thus uefi only.
[15:16] <davmor2> xnox: whats the nvme bit the rest is what I use with the addition of secureboot
[15:17] <xnox> qemu-system-x86_64 -pflash OVMF.fd -m 1024 -cdrom trusty-desktop-amd64.iso -drive file=nvme.img,if=none,id=D22 -device nvme,drive=D22,serial=1234 --enable-kvm
[15:17] <xnox> davmor2, ^
[15:18] <xnox> i've also had to build a custom OVMF.fd with nvme driver
[15:18] <xnox> no idea if that's needed, or if slangasek has rebuild new enough ovmf which has nvmedriver included
[15:18] <davmor2> xnox: I just use a qcow2 drive currently
[15:20] <xnox> eh?
[15:20] <xnox> davmor2, nvme is a device type e.g. hdd/sata.
[15:21] <xnox> qcow2 is the file format of virtual disks that qemu knows about
[15:21] <davmor2> xnox: yeah that's what I was asking about, just reading up on it now :)
[15:22] <xnox> ok
[15:24] <davmor2> http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/Datera-kvm-forum-141009_0.pdf quite a good read for a slide show :)
[15:42] <cyphermox> xnox: ah, thanks. I was not aware there was a nvme drivr
[17:42] <cyphermox> xnox: fwiw you don't need to build your own ovmf anymore, things works OOB.
[17:44] <xnox> cool.
