Re: [smartos-discuss] KVM with lofs mount

[Jorge Schrauwen]

I've been running Plex in LX branded zones for... euhm pretty close
after the first datasets went up. 

I never want to go back to KVM for Plex, aside form a few hickups every
now and then it has been a breeze.

Thanks.  My other option was to use samba.   I've got a zone running samba that exports the zfs filesystem.

Make sure you are on the latest platform image though. 

There was a small bug in the images from end of march to mid aprilish.

Glad to hear that Plex works in an lx-zone.  That's exactly what I wanted to run.  Thanks

FWIW I’m running Plex server in an LX branded zone (Ubuntu IIRC) on SmartOS. 
Works great, very lightweight.

No, it's not. lofs presents a file system, where as for KVM you need a
disk image. I think some folks use NFS for this. You would be able to
use a lofs mount in an lx branded zone.
