Thanks for the reply. The idea of using a VHD(X) was to enable use to use disk imaging tools such as ghost, wds etc to deploy images of this type of system to over 500 machines. We have not found an imaging solutions that can image and deploy via multicast a system set up in the standard way you describe.

Using VM's was a suggestion I put forward but some of our staff didn't like the idea! We can't virtualise Windows as we run many CAD and Media app's that require high end graphics card utilisation. The Linux image is mainly used for coding type activities and so virtualising that would seem sensible - unfortunately that is not my call.. Regards Darren Williams -----Original

Hi Darren, Any reason you cant use virtualisation and / or thin client kind of action? If for instance you have a linux hypervisor installed on each machine you could kick up a virtual machine with the required environment. dirty up the image and then replace the image with a clean centos / windows whenever you need it.

Add ''-C'' (nocow) option to vhd-util create. Btrfs has terrible performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files (since having copy on write for this kind of data is not useful). According to ''chattr'' manpage, NOCOW

hello, I would only like to have guestmount in my toolkit to read-only vhd/vhdx images, so I try to compile libguestfs with a minimum of dependencies. I downloaded the 1.38-stable sources, installed the necessary dependencies and compiled them with the command : ./configure --disable-ocaml --disable-perl --disable-ruby --disable-haskell --disable-php --disable-erlang --disable-lua

You can email libguestfs@redhat.com (no need to subscribe). The instructions for compiling

Hey all, I'm trying to install the fedora-packager group so that I can build Fedora source packages into RPMs that I can install.

Hey All, Is it safe to allow the 193 series kernel update now? Last time I tried that my system refused to boot. I had to roll back to the 4.18.0-147 kernel to get my machine to reboot. Since that happened I've been watching this mail list for acknowledgement that the problem has been corrected while refusing the kernel update. I may have missed the announcement that the issue was

Hey Y'all, What replaced Gstreamer and Mplayer in CentOS 8. RPM finder finds both for CentOS 6 and 7 but not 8. There must be a replacement for them but I don't know what. I appear to be having codec issues but, not knowing what's supposed to handle the jobs that the two programs used to do, I don't know where to look for a commercial set of codecs compatible with the

Hey Y'all, I've been trying for months to get samba to share my printer with my wife's Win XP machine. I've RTFM, and spent hours on google to no avail. I can't see the printer from Windows so I can't mount it up. Nothing appears in the logs. The file shares work just fine. It looks like I've got Samba 3.6.9 on this machine: [mlapier at mushroom samba]$ rpm -qa

Thanks, Mark. Um, how's about from the commandline or how do I get, I guess we're still using X11, windows to load.
