KVM84 in the starting blocks
Remember my post from March? Where, we're nearly there. Dustin announced a few days ago that he was expecting to push kvm84 in -updates next week. I've been beta-testing and chasing bugs on this for some time now, and I am pretty happy with this backport, and all the goodness it brings. So, a short list of features/bugfixes that I've noticed so far:
Disk speed seems a lot better:
yhamon@yhamon-dev:~$ time cp SunStudio12ml-solaris-sparc-200709-pkg.tar.bz2 tmp
real 0m12.528s
VS
yhamon@mirror:~$ time cp SunStudio12ml-solaris-sparc-200709-pkg.tar.bz2 tmp
real 0m20.159syhamon-dev being a VM running on a kvm84 host, and the other one on a standard kvm-62. Both hosts are similar in specs and similarly loaded. I wonder what could trigger such a significant change (cache?), but I ran this cp several times, an every time kvm84 would be significantly faster...
- ACPI2 for windows guests: among other features, it means that windows guests will now be able to reboot "themselves". Until now, when triggering a reboot from a windows guest, it would just shut it down. Now that works fine, too.
- Proper SMP support. In KVM-62, SMP support was quite broken, it would use a lot of CPU on the host - the network would also regularly crash with SMP guests, leaving them without connectivity. Now this seems to work correctly; I've been running SMP windows and Linux guests for a while, and it seems quite stable.
qemu-img create -f qcow2 windows.qcow2 12G
And to create manually the XML definition file (copy it from a template - don't forget to change UUID and MAC address), and boot it directly with virsh. Here is an example of a libvirt XML file that I use.
This works fine; I had many issues before with virt-install, where the VM just wouldn't restart after the disk had been formatted.
Can we get some of these features in qemu too?

I announced that I would be uploading it to hardy-backports, rather than hardy-updates.

You can stock a north face clearance about 4 or 5 years and it will be put to some good use. You typically wear this in the fall and winter and enjoy taking it to go camping and it also can be taken up with you to the mountains. As with any North Face product, this particular jacket is a great quality piece of outerwear. The fleece keeps you extremely warm. Allows you to wear less layers, still have the same comfort and warmth. I also love the water-resistant panels on the chest and the sleeves. They add a stylish yet functional touch to the jacket. In addition, the pockets on this jacket are great. The north face fleece clearance There are lots of them and they come in handy for you!
