I decided to created a VM to move my backuppc installation. New to KVM - just created a couple VM guests over Ubuntu Server 12.04. Everything was running fine for several days with a fresh backuppc pool. Then I came home to 2 stopped guest VM's. I tried to restart.
One won't since the virtual file system for it is gone -completely (backuppc VM). The error when I try and start the backuppc VM is: Error starting domain: Unable to allow access for disk path /...../......qcow2: No such file or directory I check on the host file system and there is no longer any file by that name there... Nothing. As best I can estimate the backuppc VM was to about 20% of disk capacity when it crashed and disappeared. The second VM is fine. Both VM's used the qcow2 file format over an ext4 file system. Both VM images are on the same drive and mount. Seemingly one has just completely disappeared. Am I wrong to use a VM server to store a complex file system like backuppc uses? Should I build the VM to only hold the OS side of things - then mount and external file system to hold my backuppc file system. I plan to store about 2TB of data is this VM. Based on my experiments, it seems I'd be better off with a physical machine for this type of environment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
