Does the libguestfs 1.0.85 found on EPEL repository support qemu-kvm for KVM or does it use pure qemu?

While running guestfish and other utilities of the family I get an warning about kqemu kernel accellerator and the whole thing works slowly (seems that it uses qemu).

libguestfs in EPEL does not use KVM. This is because of (what we think may be) a bug in the EPEL repository: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/2982 You can easily use KVM however. Just set the LIBGUESTFS_QEMU environment variable: export LIBGUESTFS_QEMU=/usr/bin/qemu-kvm See also: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#qemu_wrappers Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.
