Re: [Lxc-users] nilfs
Some people have been testing btrfs on 3.1/3.2 kernels (in ubuntu precise) with good results. I am using 3.1 / 3.2 kernels on 64 bit gentoo with btrfs at work on 2 production severs since ~ November of last year. One holds my lxc containers for a samba bdc while the other container is a secondary dns server.

Re: [Lxc-users] nilfs
Hi, I'm currently using btrfs raid 1 for a production server with 4 LXC containers (SL6.x) on it (old single core opteron w/ 4GB ECC RAM). The host is Fedora 16. So far I'm really happy with it. I do create snapshots of mercurial repos frequently with no problems at all. As to nilfs, my understanding of the Log based FSs points to them being really useful for something like a high load mail server. I do have this idea of testing nilfs for a postfix server, albeit NetBSD one. Could you share some of your observations of the nilfs and why do you think it could be beneficial for LXC, besides snapshots, as those can be done with both LVM and btrfs at this point. --ilf On Thu, 2012-03-01 at 18:20 +0100, Ulli Horlacher wrote: Has anyone real experience with NILFS (http://www.nilfs.org/)? A small test of mine with LXC 0.7.5 on Ubuntu 10.04 with NILS was sucessfull and I really like to have snapshots, but I have reservations to migrate my LXC production environment from ext4 to NILFS. Changing the file system is one thing one REALLY have to think of carefully. -- Virtualization Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/___ Lxc-users mailing list Lxc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-users
