Pausing VM / freeing up devices to allow a nfs remount?
Hi All, Anyone know if it''s possible to pause a VM, detach the block devices, then reattach and unpause? Idea being to be able to have VM''s survive a NFS unmount/remount. The only way I''m aware of right now is to migrate to a different host, but would like to do this much quicker than migrations allow for. Doing an xm pause and then xm block-detach just results in a hang since it''s still mounted in the VM, despite being paused. Thoughts / clever ideas? - Nathan -- Nathan March<nathan@gt.net> Gossamer Threads Inc. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/ Tel: (604) 687-5804 Fax: (604) 687-5806
