Hi,
Virtio can be enabled for block device in virtualizor while creating the VPS in the advance options, however we have disabled it while editing the VPS for security reasons. ----------------------- Regards, Virtualizor Team http://www.virtualizor.com |

Provide your source for security concerns, I cannot find any unresolved bugs in the past 5 years for this. Only old bugs were for large >1.5TB qcow2 but was resolved in qemu-kvm 0.12.5 I would also be interested in the reason behind this, I can understand maybe a warning message for example if it's a Windows OS without Virtio drivers. When Virtio is disabled many a times, the VPS would not boot as the VPS disk name changes accordingly i.e. from /dev/sda to /dev/vda. Hence it was better to disable virtio rather than have complaints for a VPS not booting after virtio is enabled/disabled. We infact had many tickets about this and hence we disabled the option while editing. ----------------------- For immediate support please email us at our Support email address.

You have only listed support issues. 2.6.32 RHEL kernels and Ubuntu and Debian auto sense virtio. The ability to change between virtio is a feature SolusVM has had for years. You need to stay consistent with your story, as what I am seeing here is amature backpeddling. Hi, Its definitely not a security issue. I guess Asim used the term wrongly. The issue is that a VPS fails to boot if virtio is enabled and one disables it. I guess we can have an option to enable it, but not disable it. What do you think ?
