No sign of drivers doing XP in yet. Although the day will come.
Great letter. Thank you!
You didn't notice any performance issues with virtualized IDE versus SCSI?
IDE and SCSI emulation is not going to impress you on performance. Using
virtio for disk access may improve the performance, and the Windows drivers
should be available here:
David, I belive that Todd is using "dump" to back up the
virtualization server, not the virtualization guests. The "dump"
comman dwould be completely useless for a Windows partition, whether
FAT32 or NTFS.

Now, if you have to back up virtualized Windows *guest* hosts, that's
a whole other set of adventures.
I am backing up the following:
$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/luks-xx 946513204 286868552 611564524 32% /
KVM, VM's are all just files on this partition.
