HowTo help...

[paolo pedaletti <paolo.pedaletti@gmail.com>]

Ciao,
this mail just to say that it would be useful to have guide/howto that
explain some basic/standard action to help to debug failure on KVM.
The idea is the following:
most of the KVM users are just "users" (ok, maybe system administrator,
but) not kernel hacker or programmer.
like most of the OpenOffice.org users.
I contribute to OpenOffice.org not coding but testing every new version
with some basic/trivial test.

So instead saying "it doesn't work" it would be much more useful to say:
it doesn't work, AND as the howto-help-kvm say, the result of the
following actions are:
(for example)

0) kvm command line is: .......
1) with -no-kvm .........
2) kvm_stat says ...
3) gdb says...
4) the filesystem is {qcow2|row|lvm2|...}
5) host computer is ...
6) guest computer is ...
7) ...
8) .

and all the test that a end-user (usually a sysadmin, a skilled person
but not a kernel hacker) con do to reproduce/explain/mitigate the problem.

(by the way, is there an explanation of "Weekly KVM Testing Report" tests?)

just my thought
thank you.

ciao
