OK, the discussion about virtualization has gotten me thinking. I have an old box here that i use as a home server and such.. the hardware is dying on it.. (900 mhz AMD K7 and other hardware of that era) so i am buying a cheap barebones kit to replace it. I have been wanting to play around with some of this virtualization and migrating between machines (this new server and my desktop) KVM's website says that it can be done if the image is stored via a NFS share.. which i can do through my ReadyNAS.. The question is.. even with it being a gigabit network.. is it insane to try and run a VM and use a NAS for the storage of the actual machine? Will the file IO be noticably slow and end up being something i have spent some extra cash to get going and then end up not using?
