Hello, It looks like upstream linux-2.6.git contains at least the following xen related new features for Linux 2.6.36: - Xen-SWIOTLB support (required for Xen PCI passthru and dom0) - Xen PV-on-HVM drivers - Xen VBD online dynamic resize of guest disks (xvd*) Congratulations! What are the plans for 2.6.37 merge window? I believe at least: - Xen PCI frontend Others? I''m going to

Hi Team, I am using libvirt module to retrieve configuration of the virtual machines, Can you please tell me how to retrieve the disk space of the Virtual machines. In my KVM hyper i am running two virtual machines. Regards Manzoor

So the short summary of my problem is, the batch file rsync creates is HUGE for a very small change. The idea is to create workstation image with partimage, update it with some software and send the image update diff over the wire to a large number of destinations over a satellite link, but the batch file updates are several orders of magnitude too large. I don't know exactly how partimage

Dear All, I have created a virtual high performance computing (HPC) cluster of 6 compute nodes with MPICH2 using Xen-based Fedora 11 Linux 64-bit paravirtualized (PV) domU guests. Dom0 is Fedora 11 Linux 64-bit. My Intel Desktop Board DQ45CB has a single onboard Gigabit LAN network adapter. I am able to bring up the ring of mpd on the set of 6 compute nodes. However, I am consistently

Hi virt, im stumped... any help would be appreciated.

I followed the book called "Professional Xen Virtualization" written by William von Hagen,and published by Wiley Publishing,Inc.

The clonezilla live project is a really nice way to do image-copies of machines: http://clonezilla.sourceforge.net/clonezilla-live/ but it's based on a Debian live OS which has some unfamiliar quirks. Has anyone built something like this on a Centos base? For anyone who hasn't seen it, it can do whole disk or partition copies of windows and most Linux filesystems and it knows enough to

Hi all, I'm looking for a tool that lists the used blocks in an ext3 file system. Is there already a tool that does exactly that? The closest I could find is dumpe2fs which lists groups, and free blocks within the group. Thanks, -Samson

I have a need to have a live Linux (Debian or sysrescued ) to boot off a hard-drive so that the hard-drive ends up umounted after boot. (for running partimage ). I've gone down the memdisk iso route and read about the issues there - I've seen a way to do this by mounting over nfs (messy) - but I want to do this without the network. I'm thinking that there should be a way to loop

Hello, First of all, i am new at the list and i have several questions about ocfs2 performance. Where i am working i am having huge performance problens with ocfs2.

Anyone have any experience getting ghost to do a successful image with CentOS, Fedora, or RHEL? It worked great with RH9, but now a days I find it nearly impossible to get it to work properly. Any tips would be helpful. We spin up a large number of servers on a weekly basis and it would be nice to just be able to image them. Thanks, -Drew -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Hi all! I have a slight problem: I have an external disk which contains one big filesystem (like a floppy) type ext3 (If you ask why: blame udev or maxtor, or me because I am stupid) which is approx 60% filled. Now I want to have a partition table, ie a layout where the current filesystem is the first partition, and the rest is as usual. Is this possible withotu destroying the data? Best

I have a flash memory stick that is formated with ext3 file system. NOw, there is an application on it that I would like to copy to another memory stick. I can copy it, but when I do so, that application does not work properly (it won't start - boot problem???). Is there a tool that can copy an entire content from one flash stick to another? Thanks!!! -------------- next part --------------

Hello I have an OS installation and data on a 40 gb drive that I would like to image to a 80 gb drive. I don't care if the resulting partition layout on the new drive is only 40 gb making me lose space. I just want to move everything from the older drive because I think it's failing. I have looked at partimage and mondo rescue as imaging solutions but both deal with partitions. CAn someone
