Something that i would like to have, is the ability to keep the download packages in a temp directory when using febootstrap. I understand that using ferora/archlinux (distros with a lot of package updates every day) can increase the size of this temp directory rapidly and at some point will have a lot of deprecate packages. But the daily use of febootstrap (or building libguestfs) makes your

Hi all, i am trying (test) to save / restore a state of a winxp virtual machine. Perhaps i am missing that i can not restore save image to LVM partition.

NOT a problem, just a question about distro checking: the default value is REDHAT, then you check debian (or ubuntu) and then archlinux why are you using two if statements ? -- Evaggelos Balaskas - Unix System Engineer http://gr.linkedin.com/in/evaggelosbalaskas

I use my "custom" TMPDIR variable with virt-sparsify. I just type: export -p TMPDIR=/mnt/vm/tmpdir I do that for a couple reasons: either my /tmp is on a ramdisk or /tmp is on my (ssd) rootfs and i dont want to "full" my / with the temporally files. Thats said, i was thinking to "ask" OR sending a patch for adding a tmpdir OPTION for virt-sparsify like

Perhaps a stupid question, but i will give it a try: I have two machines on libvirtd session and network on usermod. Can i (somehow) cross these two machines ? machineA: ip addr add 10.10.10.101/24 dev eth0 ip route add default via 10.10.10.102 dev eth0 machineB: ip addr add 10.10.10.102/24 dev eth0 ip route add default via 10.10.10.101 dev eth0 -- Evaggelos Balaskas - Unix System Engineer

Hi there, i am trying to understand something that bothering me for some time now. A running domain has two things that someone needs to take backup. So there is the disk and the state. Using snapshots as checkpoint someone can take the disk snapshot but i cant understand how to "transfer" the saved state from "backup ed" disk. Reading through Kashyap's and Eric's

Hi all: My OS is now Fedora16 , and the spice server is installed on it by rpms. Then I run 'qemu-kvm -hda /root/vaddsoft.img -m 512 -vga qxl -spice port=5930,disable-ticketing' , I want to find out where is the libvirt.xml for the command . Well , I mean that the libvirt.xml is genrated automatically, not by myself manually. Wish your help! Thanks a lot! -- Yours. suyi

hi, with libvirt, is it possible to manage VMs (using virsh, for e.g) without root access? if that is possible, how can i do that? many thanks, Jun

Dear List, I have installed a custom KVM on my Ubuntu 12.04 which I sometimes use. I would like to use it with libvirt, so I used apt-get to install libvirt, virt-viewer and virtinst. I can start virsh after installation and it says it is version 0.9.8, but once I get to trying to install a VM with virtinst, I get the error message: ERROR Host does not support any virtualisation options
