Re: [CentOS-virt] vmdk
Times like this, it might pay to use virt-manager. Just ssh -X root@$host - assuming you have X forwarding enabled in your ssh config. Regards, Matthew.

[CentOS-virt] safety of LVM backups
Greetings, Can anybody confirm the safety of LVM snapshot backout (not a backup -- but similar to snapshot restore) for a VM? I understand that there is a step for restart of the CM and not live migration. Will any thing of rsync will help considering a usage of DD on various VM file formnats and various *visors(s)? Or is there a suggested (best practices) way of coelsing VMs snapshots and and possibily running a particular snapshot being coelesed? -- Regards, Rajagopal ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
