[libvirt-users] kvm domain won't start with vhost-net loaded
Hi, I have multiple kvm domains running fine, but to improve network performance, I wanted to try vhost-net. However, once I load the module: modprobe vhost-net I can't start the domain anymore: virsh start kvmGitInt gives the error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev tap,fd=25,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=26: vhost-net requested but could not be initialized qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev tap,fd=25,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=26: Device 'tap' could not be initialized This is a 3.14.4 kernel, with libvirt 1.2.1 and qemu 1.7.0. I have searched online but haven't found any indication on how to solve it in my case (The kernel is not selinux enabled,not using systemd, ...) Any suggestion on how to solve this is very welcome!
