ieronymous Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hello I d like to ask what would be the best settings to setup for a linux vm and specifically Machine: Q35-4.2 Bios : OVMF Primary vDisk Type: raw or qcow? and why Primary vDisk bus: virtio scsi or sata ? Thank you ps I have it for creation from afternoon and couldnt find somewhere to mention the best options for these settings only for windows Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 @ieronymous The default Linux template is kinda ok. Some distros won't work if they don't come with the virtio or scsi drivers. Some have issues with the machine type version. For example Pfsense only works with Q35-2.6. Best performance for the disk you will always get with raw and scsi. In most cases this should work. 1 Quote Link to comment
