DD is a lousy OS replication tool, and I would not have used it. Using simple (!!!) scripting to replicate systems, with any possible combination of sfdisk, LVM, mkfs.ext3, resize2fs would probably be better, not to mention - faster. Example: Boot; create a new partition layout on your new disk us

One machine is a netbook, and is barely usable as it is... The other could handle a VM, but I have never had any luck installing Windows into a VM. Using windows as my main OS is too painful - always some crap to take care of, not worth the hassle. Finally, vmware requires recompiling any time th

Linux has won!

Today over lunch, a few of us were talking about Linux vs. Windows. Somebody said, among other things, that he prefers Windows because it is more popular. Then it dawned on me: We're so used to thinking that Linux is a niche OS that only 1% of the people use at home, that we (or at least I) missed

Hello friends, last resort before I go and reinvent the wheel, badly. I have a system here that creates a dozen images for medias of different sizes, installing a few dozen machines every day. I would like to make the process more unified - install the same 4G image on all medias (dd) and then max

We spoke to Matrix, but they of course want to sell us the whole RH RHEV suite. We just want the open source stuff. About the version: I will check, I just did a yum install. How stable is CentOS 6? The only thing the physical host will do is to host KVM. Should I be using CentOS 6, or perhaps som

Re: Looking for KVM consultant

Hi, Few things: 1. Did you compile KVM from source? CentOS 5.4 is really old, and for best results you should either use RHEL 6 or the latest Fedora. 2. It's pretty hard to find a consulting for KVM. Frankly, they're doing a lousy job of marketing it, specially for hosting businesses. Good luck,

Hi guys, We are looking for help setting up KVM in our production environment. We have been using Vserver, but want to move to KVM which has many more tools for management. Our initial tests under CentOS 5.4 have not been good. The KVM guests often hang when they are under load. Any recommendatio
