[PATCH] kbase: Document minimal libvirt version for NUMA-less virtiofs
Posted by Michal Privoznik 3 years, 5 months ago
Using virtiofs without NUMA was implemented in v6.9.0-rc1~161 but
our kbase document only mentions QEMU version which may confuse
users.

This is related to the IRC question just now? I've read it and wondered if
virt-install needed some tuning or something...

Exactly! There was somebody on IRC asking why virt-install without any 
guest NUMA doesn't work.
