As far as I can tell, the only thing the domU would notice is that the system clock jumps forward suddenly, and all the network connections suddenly drop. I'm having trouble understanding John's worries about the filesystem integrity. It's true, it would be a problem if I just did 'xm create' on the block device, but I'm planning on doing 'xm restore', which should sidestep this problem. -- Agent Rooker _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
