What exactly is Oracle VM? Just a Linux distribution specifically for Xen? Does it have the full features? IE can I have the Dom0 running as a full router and use shell access as a supported feature? Or is it expected to be only run via web access? Is BTRFS supported in Oracle VM? OCFS2 doesn't seem to give any benefits over Ext4 for a non-clustered filesystem. HA support out of the box sounds interesting. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
