Have I just overwritten some of my virtual drive, and if so, is there a way to
recover?
On a linux host I use LVM logical volumes as the backing for my virtual disks.
Using the Virtual Machine Manager 0.9.1 GUI I did this:
1. select source machine, go into details, select virtual disk and
I'm struggling with getting this to work smoothly, meaning 1) from the host
system I can resolve the names of the VM's and 2) from the VM's I can properly
resolve the host name (I get 127.0.0.1, presumably because dnsmasq parsed
/etc/hosts on the host).
There was some encouraging discussion of
Does libvirt support snapshotting when the virtual disk comes from a vmdk file?
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Snapshots#Desired_functionality seems to say no,
since it says 'virsh snapshot', which requires all disk images to be qcow2.
OTOH, man virsh, http://libvirt.org/formatsnapshot.html,
://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup#Starting_the_Guest_using_libvirt
says it's .U. I don't know how to tell which I ended up with.
Thanks for the pointer.

I have a directory on the host that I would like to be visible in the
guest/domain. Using virt-manager I selected the directory, resulting in this
configuration:
filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'
source dir='/mnt/SASInstaller'/
target dir='/mnt/SASInstaller'/
After ethtool -K eth0 gro off ssh into the machine (either the host or the
VM's) became unreliable--very slow, with frequent dropped connections.
However, this was while using sshuttle.

http://libvirt.org/drvvmware.html says The libvirt VMware driver should be
able to manage any Workstation, Player, Fusion version supported by the VMware
VIX API.
1. Does this mean it supports the vmware hypervisor, or just that it
understands the disk images and perhaps other cotnrol file

Dear Boyland,
In collaboration with some of this mailing list users, I had put some effort
, and so
something may still be off. Non-virtual machines can do the upload test, so
it's not just a firewall issue.
The comment refers to another source for more info, but it seems to be behind a
Redhat paywall.

I've been using virt-manager and kvm with a disk image (as in the raw bits)
from a physical windows 7 machine. Initial performance was dreadful, but
improved as I switched to virtio and spice. I've been running linux VM's
somewhat longer (much longer if you count kvm without libvirt).

Hi. I have some narrow questions and a larger one.
If I make an existinig LVM VG a storage pool, can I use some of the LV's for
libvirt and some for the host? Or does the VG needed to be completely
dedicated to virtualization?
Assuming mixed use is possible, is it possible to do an LVM
