Funny I was thinking about a similar script line. Then I thought, this
is silly I must have overlooked the obvious. Let's ask the list :-)
The machine is dual bootable (Xen/Kvm). It serves as a backup for two
other machines running Xen (centos5). That's basically the only reason
I'm still on C5. I use drbd to mirror disks.
The best approach for me is to take a new machine with C6 and migrate on
there.
