There are only 2 reasons to reboot a linux: changing the number of processors or changing your abount of memory. Everything else could be done without reboot. It is a linux. In worst case you need to shutdown all ctc-interfaces on that box, remove the ctc module, reload it and start the interfaces up again.
You see, CTCs are not very reliable. The best virtual network interfaces at the moment are GuestLans. The reason for this is, they only "couple" to the interface and not to the guest at the other side of the interface. For this reason, if a guest dies, it doesn't matter to the others, except it stays down longer than the tcp timeout. And at all I claim there are no reasons to route a linux guest through the VM TCPIP. ;-) Greetings Oliver Paukstadt +++LINUX++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++Manchmal stehe ich sogar nachts auf und installiere mir eins....+++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
