Re: qemu accel options on NetBSD 8 VPS [Was Re: Building Linux packages on NetBSD]



Well in that case, if you dont have VT-x, you only can use XEN with PV. :-(

Well, not quite so. It is true, that nvmm is only in 9.0, but you can run
qemu -accel hax on NetBSD 8.
Need to download sys.tgz sources and unpack it to /usr.
Then run "make install" in /usr/pkgsrc/emul/haxm
Then create haxm devices and load haxm modules.
Then it works.
Did that. But this is on a VPS with no VT-x support. So the module exits
with appropriate error.

Am I missing out on a significant amount of performance due to lack of
accelerator, with the system's main usage being a build server for pkgsrc.

And in absence of accel, what best can I do? How do I use paravirtualized
Linux guest, and would it do better?
