pete Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 KVM under Debian Squeeze with a RAID 10 on SSDs Related Ars thread: KVM virtualization: jump on in, the water's fine - Ars Technica OpenForum Going to have to play with this.
dhicks Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Do your VMs reboot this quickly? Not quite - I have a Windows Server 2003 VM running under KVM (on Debian Lenny) on a RAID 1 software RAID array. I'm still not sure if I quite get the idea of what KVM does that Xen doesn't - my other home server runs Debian Squeeze and Xen, and on there I can separatly mount VM disk images as working file systems. KVM seems to treat disk volumes differently, I can't simply mount a KVM file system outside a VM. My second server doesn't need hardware virtualisation support, either, which makes for a very cheap and low power-consumption device.
FN-GM Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Not that fast, but pretty rapid. The virtual machine in the video probably has nothing installed to slow it down.
john Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 The fact its running off SSDs as well will be helping that speed!
jamesfed Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Bring on the Vertex 3s!! Got a Vertex 3 on the way from Dabs the moment they get one Going to use it in my desktop PC at work which I reguarly run VirtualBox on - can't wait!
