Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
Starting a kvm guest with:
cat karmic
vdekvm \
-m 256M \
-cpu host \
-smp 1 \
-name karmic \
-boot order=nc \
-drive file=/dev/vg01/test,if=virtio,boot=on,cache=none \
-net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:2f:8d:b6:cf:d0,model=virtio \
-net vde,vlan=0,sock=/var/run/vde2/vde0.ctl \
-watchdog i6300esb \
-vnc :0 \
-serial telnet:localhost:23,server,nowait \
-monitor tcp:127.0.0.1:12000,server,nowait \
-runas kvmguest
shows:
NOTE: vdekvm is now DEPRECATED -- both QEMU and KVM have native support for
VDE. This binary will be removed soon from the distribution, consider
stopping using it.
arg ,vlan=0,sock=/var/run/vde2/vde0.ctl
TUNGETIFF ioctl() failed: Invalid argument
TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Bad address
Changing vdekvm to kvm:
sh karmic-guest-script
Invalid -net type 'vde'
The manpage already shows option vde, while the kvm-binary does not:
kvm --help
...
Network options:
-net nic[,vlan=n][,macaddr=mac][,model=type][,name=str][,addr=str][,vectors=v]
create a new Network Interface Card and connect it to VLAN 'n'
-net user[,vlan=n][,name=str][,net=addr[/mask]][,host=addr][,restrict=y|n]
[,hostname=host][,dhcpstart=addr][,dns=addr][,tftp=dir][,bootfile=f]
[,hostfwd=rule][,guestfwd=rule][,smb=dir[,smbserver=addr]]
connect the user mode network stack to VLAN 'n', configure its
DHCP server and enabled optional services
-net
tap[,vlan=n][,name=str][,fd=h][,ifname=name][,script=file][,downscript=dfile][,sndbuf=nbytes][,vnet_hdr=on|off]
connect the host TAP network interface to VLAN 'n' and use the
network scripts 'file' (default=/etc/qemu-ifup)
and 'dfile' (default=/etc/qemu-ifdown);
use '[down]script=no' to disable script execution;
use 'fd=h' to connect to an already opened TAP interface
use 'sndbuf=nbytes' to limit the size of the send buffer; the
default of 'sndbuf=1048576' can be disabled using 'sndbuf=0'
use vnet_hdr=off to avoid enabling the IFF_VNET_HDR tap flag;
use
vnet_hdr=on to make the lack of IFF_VNET_HDR support an error
condition
-net socket[,vlan=n][,name=str][,fd=h][,listen=[host]:port][,connect=host:port]
connect the vlan 'n' to another VLAN using a socket connection
-net socket[,vlan=n][,name=str][,fd=h][,mcast=maddr:port]
connect the vlan 'n' to multicast maddr and port
-net dump[,vlan=n][,file=f][,len=n]
dump traffic on vlan 'n' to file 'f' (max n bytes per packet)
-net none use it alone to have zero network devices; if no -net option
is provided, the default is '-net nic -net user'
-netdev [user|tap|socket],id=str[,option][,option][,...]
...
So the package seems only to be built partially against vde?
