Ditto. Some vendors/partners have integrated storage and virtualization products so that a snapshot request to the VM will quiesce the guest file system before the snapshot is taken, allowing for a consistent snapshot of the guest. xVM with ZFS isn't there yet. Short answer: xVM isn't ready for serious use. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list xen-discuss@opensolaris.org
