In the last talk I mentioned using LVM to save disk space with Xen. The idea being that the pristine disk image is stored for your favorite linux distribution and then only the changes are stored for each virtual instance.
So virtual machines could share a single 4GB system image and only keep the differences (likely to mostly be in /home and /etc.) It's documented in section 6.3 of the Xen 3.0 manual. Seems pretty elegant to me, every virtual machine shared the same pristing image, yet they can edit/change anything they want (except the kernel). I didn't quite catch the speakers explanation of why this might be a problem. -- Bill Broadley Computational Science and Engineering UC Davis _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
