Also, is this tested? Will it require any whonixcheck changes?
( https://github.com/Whonix/whonixcheck/blob/master/usr/lib/whonixcheck/check_virtualizer.bsh )
With these changes, what is the output of…
systemd-detect-virt
?
Good catch.
When disabling MSR the systemd-detect-virt output changes form “kvm” to “qemu”. This breaks the shared folder automatic mounting that relies on seeing “kvm” from virt-detect and also whonixcheck which only recognizes the hypervisor that way only.
I don’t think its worth the trouble and its best to rollback the commits.
I’ll also add this on the ticket.
