I have an NEC DVD-RW ND2500A (that's not the label I bought it under, but that's what it really is.) It's supposed to read/write CDs, DVDs, DVD+Rs, and DVD-Rs. I'm basically dual booting between XP and CentOS 4. Following the recipe in "The Linux Cookbook", I tried to copy a DVD using: dd if=/dev/hdd of=/tmp/diskfile.iso then cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd fs=32m

The error message: hivex_close: do_hivex_close: you must call 'hivex-open' first to initialize the hivex handle This is the process flow: g = guestfs_create (); guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, diskFile,GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",-1); guestfs_launch (g) char **roots = guestfs_inspect_os (g); guestfs_inspect_os returns NULL, guestfs_last_error(g) returns

It should be easy, but I have not yet found a solution. Only some methods involving use of dd, but that sounds a little scary to me on a production server. I wish there would be a command "virt-resize", but no... Maybe "virt-clone", with the option --file=DISKFILE, could be bended to do this? - Jussi Hirvi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki

I was trying to do some performance testing between using iSCSI on the host as a diskfile to a guest vs the VM guest using the iSCSI device directly. However, in the process of trying to establish a baseline performance figure, I started increasing the MTU settings on the PCI-express NICs with RTL8168B chips. First bottleneck was discovering the max MTU allowed on these is 7K instead of 9K but

I have never been able to get tap:aio devices running. When I try it in a Linux PV domain, it says: XENBUS: Waiting for devices to initialise: 295s... And they don''t work in my GPLPV drivers, which is the problem I am trying to solve, but I''d like to see them work under Linux first. Is there anything extra I need to do? I have loaded the xenblktap module (forgot to do this

We are just starting to work with Xen and so far have been pleased with the results. The host system is running Fedora Core 6 with all of the latest kernel/xen updates. One of our first projects was to create an HVM guest using an LV based disk for the guest. It originally started out as a Fedora Core 3 system, but has been upgraded using network updated to Fedora Core 6. I believe we would

Hi all, In a conversation between me, Milind and Csaba, Milind pointed out fadvise(2) [1] and its potential benefits to Glusterfs' caching translators like read-ahead etc. After discussing about it, we agreed that our performance translators can leverage the hints to provide better performance. Now the question is how commonly applications actually provide hints? Is it something that is used

Hi! It seems i already have udev... mydom0:~# apt-get install udev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done udev is already the newest version. mydom0:~# I notice when i mkfs -ext 3 my new vbd with dd, it says it''s not a block device.. i have a feeling im doing this wrong. can you suggest steps in: 1. creating a new block device 2. preparing it (mkfs) 3.

I need to installa a streaming server for live videos and for video on demand. My choice is red5. Do you think I can use a xen virtual machine to run a streaming service? Or it is better not to virtualize? Sorry for my bad english. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
