description = """tl;dr: The dev "gnif" from looking-glass does not want to analyse this problem which his config from the documentation is causing. He insists someone opens a issue here at qemu's, so thats what i did now :) He also insists this problem is not caused by his config (even though the config is needed for looking-glass) and does not want to help or analyse this whole mess. Sorry if i'm a bit salty. 

Please see the following issues on his and the virtio-win github : \\

reproduce = """1. Create a VM
2. enable looking-glass (i used the latest Beta6 release from github) with the mentioned kernel module (i use manjaro and can use looking-glass-module-dkms from AUR)
3. add virtiofs from virt-manager"""
