Paths on Linux

This page lists where most of the stuff related to virtualization is located on a Linux operating system. This is based on Fedora. But it should be similar for other distributions.

UEFI Firmware

  • Default location for the x86-64 OVMF (UEFI) firmware

/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd

  • Default location for the x86-64 OVMF (UEFI) secureboot-enabled firmware

/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd

Nvram

  • Default location of Nvram

/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram

The Nvram contains the saved state of the UEFI configuration.

Default location for disk images

  • Any new virtual machines will be saved there :

/var/lib/libvirt/images
