Hey,

Currently, the ovirt-node hypervisor runs in livecd mode, that is the
root filesystem is read-only.
We have to run "persist" command for persistent files, which is
inconvenient for some uses who
run ovirt-node only as hypervisor alone. So do we have plan to let
ovirt-node run non-livecd mode?
Thanks.
Hi Wenyi,

ovirt-node doesn't just run in livecd mode, it *is* a livecd.  If you're
using ovirt-node with ovirt-engine (or derivative builds like RHEV-H
with RHEV-M), then you shouldn't have any need to persist anything
manually.  This is handled by the vdsm and ovirt-node packages
automatically.

There is no plan to let it run in any mode other than livecd.  There are
other options in those cases, like running a full OS rather than an
ovirt-node iso.

Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,

Thank you very much for answering the question. My case is we are using ovirt-node
as hypervisor standalone without ovirt-engin or RHEV-M.


So could you have some ideas to keep the rootfs writeable into disks persistently
not into  tmpfs? Like overlay file system?



Best regards
Wenyi Gao
