Re: [libreoffice-website] Re: VM migration - anything productive on them?
Why not setup xen. Yes its more work but the advantage of this is you can set up LVM to allow for the vm's to grow and allocation of disk space isnt static. one thing that cant be done is shrinking of a vm. Ubuntu 11.10 has a very easy to use provisioning system as well as web based vm management and monitoring such as nagios infrastructure monitoring.

Cc'ing Alex, who might know. Hi, there is no direct migration path as LXC are only containers running on the host filesystem. It is also hard to mount the vdi hdd-image, so copying existing important data should be done using scp/rsync from the old vms to grisu, where the files can be simply moved to the rootfs directories of the lxc containers.

Re: [libreoffice-website] Re: VM migration - anything productive on them?
Hi Jonathan, LXC is a fast and lightweight solution that works with the default kernel, can use the host's filesystem or lvm or files as rootfs and provides very easy setup and finegrained rights management. Also the configuration of a DomU on a Hetzner server requires quite annoying routing and gateway setups to prevent the packages being silently dropped by Hetzners switches.

ahh ok. xen as well has been integrated into the 3.0 kernel stack it seems as well :D learn something new every day :D On 18/10/2011 20:55, Alexander Werner wrote: Hi Jonathan, LXC is a fast and lightweight solution that works with the default kernel, can use the host's filesystem or lvm or files as rootfs and provides very easy setup and finegrained rights management.

Hi Florian, *; On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 7:36 PM, Florian Effenberger flo...@documentfoundation.org wrote: we're in the progress of migrating one of our servers to a new machine, and would like to replace the virtualization solution used by LXC.
