Mainly I was wondering why with readonly=yes the VM doesn't boot at all, it fails before even calling kvm and I can't figure out why. I'll try modifying fstab to mount / as readonly and set readonly=no in the VM description file, maybe that'll work. 2011/9/7 Matthew Smith: > Hi > > Have you tried doing this with a 'live CD' distribution image (which is by > its nature normally a read only boot)? I haven't. The idea is that my OS image works as a live CD since I need to install some random stuff until it works as a virtual cluster. > > Back in the days when disks were small and very expensive, we used to have a > small (200M) boot disk on each work station, and then NFS mount (read only) > /usr and /usr/$ARCH (sun2, sun3, suni386 and sun4 on the network!), and a > NFS read/write for /home and NIS for authentication..... perhaps something > similar in the virtual environment?
