I'm running kvm with the -rtc option to try and test a bug related to the start of daylight savings time. Anyway when the VM boots up it gets the acutal time rather than the hwclock time: root@stretch:/etc# hwclock 2018-10-05 10:39:30.993531+1000 root@stretch:/etc# date Sun 14 Oct 13:17:23

migration

I've just migrated the LUV VM to a new server. The new system has 48G of RAM and SSD storage. The LUV VM now has 4G of RAM (up from 2200M) and the SSD will improve performance too. Currently while waiting for DNS changes to propagate I have the old VM forwarding connections on ports 80 and

server migration

New hardware has been purchased for the system that hosts the LUV VM. The old server is a i7-920, 8G of RAM, and 2*750G SATA disks. The "new" server is a i7-930, 48G of RAM, 2*250G SATA SSD, and 2*2TB SATA disks. I put new in quotes because it's not new hardware, it's hardware someone else
