As soon as I can afford it (£700, money I haven't got :-) I'm going to build a new machine - lvm/qemu on raid-1, then linux, windows, whatever on top of that on raid-6. The problem, of course, is I can't find much info on actually setting up a machine with a minimal virtual-machine install then a bunch of vm's on top. I guess it's all out there, but it's technical docu, not guides and howtos. So I guess I'll be documenting it all :-) And maybe trying to get a linux.org wiki to put it up on :-) Cheers, Wol -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
