libvirt users - Jan 2019 - Re: virt-install and IOThreads

Hello,

is there any way of specifying iothreads via virt-install command?

I've tried appending ",iothread='1'" but that didn't
work.

Thanks in advance!

No unfortunately it's not wired up in virt-install. It's fairly easy to 
patch+extend the command line if you're interested, this is a bit out of 
date but still pretty close

Thanks for reference!

I'm still not sure how the commandline would look like, what do you
think about something like…
--iothreads=X --disk=…,iothread=1 --disk=…,iothread=X

?
