But the development boxes aren't utilized 100% of the time so if we can: 1) snapshot the data so that there isn't a setup cost 2) let the dev bring the instance up on their own then we should be able to halt the instances when we determine that they've been idle and the dev can bring them back up when they get back to working on it. For something like pkgdb01.dev, the things that are modified are: * apache config in /etc/httpd/conf.d/pkgdb.conf * code checkout in /srv/dev/ * Database -- in this case postgres so /var/lib/pgsql ** Note that database dump and reload may take quite a while. So to capture this data we might want to stop the database server and then snapshot the databases data files. * Other apps have other data stores as well -- packages has a xapian db, for instance. -Toshio
