The talk was very much informative. I wonder how you created so fast fedora 17 guest. Will you share the magic?
I didn’t create it. The guest already existed as a disk image.
If you want to create guest images, have a look at the
oz-installtool.I like to know how you created the disk image.
I used virt-install to create it initially, probably from a net-boot ISO.
This would have given me a logical volume containing the Fedora image.
I then sparsified (and copied) it using virt-sparsify, and compressed the resulting file using
xz --best.Thanks for the handout. I recently used virt-resize to expand a RHEL 6.3 raw image, which works really great without any error. However, after I sucessfully migrated the image (use libvirt Python API) to another host, the image booted up fine but got some really wired error from kernel, and became unusable. For the comparison, the original RHEL 6.3 raw image without virt-resize works great after migration.
Not sure if you have heard the bug report or experience like this, or a bug in virt-resize? Thanks.
There’s not enough information to say. Try including full details and asking on the virt-tools mailing list.
