You gave me an idea, so I went:
strace -f -o /tmp/trace qemu ...
(yes, I had a qemu hanging around in my history. It is qemu-kvm, so it
might be a close cousin). Looking at the opens, I see one potential
config:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/qemu/qemu.conf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
It's a system config, but might be a start 🙂
No manpage for qemu.conf, alas.
@Franco: perhaps you could try a similar trick?
This was what I wanted to do, but without documentation about what the
qemu.conf file should contain it is not possible to accomplish that.
Does anybody know the purpose of "/etc/qemu/qemu.conf"?
I have a file /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf on my system and it is very thoroughly
commented, so self-documenting to some extent. It appears to have been
installed by libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu so part of the libvirt/qemu family. But
(on Debian 12) I find no /etc/qemu/qemu.conf.
