Run fstrim after cloning/moving a disk.
+`arch`: `<aarch64 | x86_64>` ::

+Virtual processor architecture. Defaults to the host.

Arbitrary arguments passed to kvm, for example:
Freeze CPU at startup (use 'c' monitor command to start execution).

Map host PCI devices into guest.

You can us the 'lspci' command to list existing PCI devices.

+
+The type of mediated device to use.
+An instance of this type will be created on startup of the VM and

Choose the PCI-express bus (needs the 'q35' machine model).
Lock/unlock the VM.

+`vga`: `[[type=]<enum>] [,memory=<integer>]` ::
+
+Configure the VGA Hardware. If you want to use high resolution modes (>= 1280x1024x16) you may need to increase the vga memory option. Since QEMU 2.9 the default VGA display type is 'std' for all OS types besides some Windows versions (XP and older) which use 'cirrus'. The 'qxl' option enables the SPICE display server. For win* OS you can select how many independent displays you want, Linux guests can add displays them self.
+You can also run without any graphic card, using a serial device as terminal.
+
+`memory`=`<integer> (4 - 512)` ;;
+
+Sets the VGA memory (in MiB). Has no effect with serial display.

-Select the VGA type. If you want to use high resolution modes (>= 1280x1024x16) then you should use the options 'std' or 'vmware'. Default is 'std' for win8/win7/w2k8, and 'cirrus' for other OS types. The 'qxl' option enables the SPICE display sever. For win* OS you can select how many independent displays you want, Linux guests can add displays them self. You can also run without any graphic card, using a serial device as terminal.
