2012-08-17 Thread Mark Olliver
Hi, Is there a method to allow for continuos replication with ploop. I know ploop now has a newer model for replicating itself and then at the last moment doing a live switch but it would be good if there was the option for continuos replication so effectively sync but not final switch? Thanks

Hi, I am wondering as memory management is a responsibility of the kernel and with openvz there is only a single kernel what benefit is there of running 64bit guests over 32bit guests if you are only running 32 bit programs even if they do use a lot of memory? Regards Mark ___
