Hi,
I've asked briefly on the #smartos IRC but thought I might get a broader
response to my questions here.
Does anyone have thoughts to share on running imgadm available images for
CentOS vs custom installed
instances of CentOS? Is there something in the SmartOS image kernels that is
relevant or are these
just stock CentOS kernels? Also, generally, what is the strategy for KVM
'updates'? E.g., When
CentOS release updated kernels, is it OK to just update the KVMs in place (yum
update)?
I don't know about Centos, but we just use the regular updates for out
Ubuntu VMs.
One thing that I don't like on the joyant KVM images is the 'one big partition'
partitioning
strategy for what will be a 'production' server. I've gone to the trouble of
re-partitioning
centos-6 2.6.0 (df81f45e-8f9f-11e3-a819-93fab527c81e). Then I made my own image
(clone) so I can
redeploy it without the re-partitioning headache. Am I going down a dead-end
path with this strategy?
Possibly. Why can't you just add extra drives? It's certainly easier
for administration and imaging to keep the system and data on separate
drives.
