Hi I have a linux box which has CentOS running in it. I logged into the box using root and wrote a script in the /home/proc_threads directory. saved the file and quit.

Hi I am using QEMU 0.12.1 as the hypervisor in my RHEL installation of 6.5. I wanted to know if there are any side-effects with respect to VM image corruption when i use SIGTERM signal to kill a qemu-kvm process which effectively stops my VM running on the host.

Hi All We use CentOS 6.6 for our application. I have profiled the application and find that we have a heavy requirement in terms of Disk writes.
