Hi all, Trying to test libvirt 1.1.3 with virtlockd locking my qcow2 images on a NFS storage between two kvm hosts. ./configure ... --with-init-script=upstart Libvirtd upstart script is actually well generated but I can't see nothing about virtlockd... or am I blind ? :) Nevertheless, running virtlockd -d && service libvirtd restart works fine. Am I wrong thinking that editing

To me, this seems a _very_ important feature, and I wonder if I am doing something wrong or if the feature (hardlink+sieve) simply does not exists. Hardlink+Sieve has never worked. The fix is a bit complicated. Here's my

Sorry for the bump... Anyone know if it is possible to have multiple protocols instances with different ssl_protocols settings? Regards.

Hi list, we all know why ZFS is not included in RHEL/CentOS distributions: its CDDL license is/seems not compatible with GPL license. I'm not a layer, and I do not have any strong opinion on the matter. However, as a sysadmin, I found ZFS to be extremely useful, especially considering BTRFS sad state. I would *really* love to have ZFS on Linux more intergrated with current CentOS. From

Hello! Is it possible to disable the virtlockd daemon or VM file locking? I start qemu with a -snapshot option which prevents and changes to the disk image anyways. Using <readonly /> is not supported for IDE disks. Another option would be to not require locking on the NFS share, but i have no idea how. Can someone help me with that? Regards Felix Queißner

Ciao Gionatan, I run Gluster 3.10.x (Replica 3 arbiter or 2 + 1 arbiter) to provide storage for oVirt 4.x and I have had no major issues so far. I have done online upgrades a couple of times, power losses, maintenance, etc with no issues. Overall, it is very resilient. Important thing to keep in mind is your network, I run the Gluster nodes on a redundant network using bonding mode 1 and I have

Hi list, many moons ago I asked about preserving hardlink between identical messages when pigeonhole (for sieve filtering) was used. The reply was that, while hardlink worked well for non-filtered messages, using pigeonhole broke the hardlink (ie: some message-specific data was appended to the actual mail file). Here you can find the original thread:

Hi all, I have a question regarding the "ssl_protocols" parameter. I understand that editing the 10-ssl.conf file I can set the ssl_protocols variable as required. At the same time, I can edit a single protocol file (eg: 20-pop3.conf) to set the ssl_protocols for a specific protocol/listener. I wander if (and how) I can create a different listener for another POP3 instance, for

Hi Javier, thanks for your reply. I already checked SIS and, while interesting, is not what I want, because: 1) it can be difficult to restore a single message/attachment from a backup 2) only the attachments, and not the entire messages, are deduped. Message-based hardlinks really exists for a reason. The good news is that I found _why_ they are not working: it depends from how dovecot and

Hi all, as per subject, when a Windows guest using a Spice display is rebooted with a planned chkdsk, the consistency check is always skipped. It seems that the Spice display issues some "phantom" keystrokes, which are then intended by Windows as the "skip chkdsk at boot" signal. I tried to use a Spice display with no additional features (ie: USB redirection), but to no
