I am running Fedora on a VirtualBox. Sometimes to allow for performing some real hardware testing, I need to run my development environment on a physical machine. So I need the hard disk of the virtual machine (the .vdi file) to be interchangeably working on both the virtual machine itself and my physical PC by booting a bootable image, mounting the vdi file, and then chrooting to it.

sudo mount.vboxsf J_DRIVE /mnt/J_DRIVE
works. but when i go to make a launcher:
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/extlauncher
command: sudo mount.vboxsf J_DRIVE /mnt/J_DRIVE
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/extlauncher
everything goes fine, but upon launching my launcher ubuntu doesnt mount my external harddrive.
adding
J_DRIVE /mnt/J_DRIVE vboxsf rw,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000,dev 0 0
to fstab also works fine.
do i need to create a launcher differently when i want it to contain a sudo command?
I'm installing a new server after this weekend, and it musth have both windows server 2008 r2 and linux (probably ubuntu) running, but I'm wondering which one of them I should run virtual. Windows will be used mostly for rdp and for serving asp.net webpages, linux will host some django-applications and a postgreSQL server etc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMoved to virtualization forum: [URL].. I just upgraded my Ubuntu VirtualBox guest to Lucid. My host machine shares two folders with the guest. I have them listed in my /etc/fstab so they're automatically mounted:
share /mnt/share vboxsf defaults 0 0 For some reason, it looks like Ubuntu attempts to mount these shared folders twice. The first time, the mount doesn't succeed, but the second time, it does, so by the time I actually log in, the shares work properly.
Karmic would just print an error message at boot, but now Lucid makes me press a key to continue booting when the mount fails. Ideally, I'd like to figure out how to make the first mount attempt work properly. But if that's complicated, just disabling Lucid's prompt would make me happy.
I am in the process of building a new desktop machine for work and fun. I am looking to run a undecided flavor of Linux (guessing Ubuntu) as my primary OS and several Windows installs with a Windows 7 install for .net development and gaming as virtualized environments.
From my previous experiences with virtualization software in Linux I was never able to find an application that offered descent video card support / graphic acceleration etc. to be capable of playing any games within one of the virtualized environments. And since I will be investing quite a bit of money into this system for gaming I would naturally want to find the best option available to achieve this setup.
So Onto my question: Is there any virtualization software available for Linux that has full video card support, graphic acceleration and capable of taking advantage of everything the video cards have to offer within the virtualized environments?
Or am I stuck with running Windows 7 as my primary OS and using virtualization for Linux and the other OS's?
Also I have no preference on open/closed source and price range would be up to $175.00 to support at least 3 virtualized environments.
if anyone of you have shifted using Paid Red Hat Linux with CentOS, and what are your experiences of moving from Paid Linux to Unpaid Linux CenOS. When do you suggest a person use Paid Linux and when to use Unpaid Linux?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAt linux-kvm.org it is stated: "KVM ... consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko that provides the core virtualization infrastructure" and yet there's no mention of Xen, which runs as the hypervisor with KVM. The site seems to be implying the module is the hypervisor. My question to you is: What is the relationship between KVM and Xen on a server that is "running KVM"?

Is it hard to configure Xen and anyway, how to do it? Basically I'm a novice use of linux and my doubts come up refering to Xen configuration, installation and Hardware virtualization selection ( Graphic Card Virtualization above all) because if I have to touch the BIOS settings tell me how, or the application sets it by itself?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I configure my Debian installation to mount external USB drives to mount points based on the volume names of the drives? For instance, if I have a thumb drive with the volume name of "SWORDFISH," how do I have Linux mount it at /media/SWORDFISH? I'm aware that this can be setup in FSTAB, but that requires that I know the UUID of the device beforehand and that I take the time to set each external device up in FSTAB first. That does nothing for me when I have a thumb drive that has never been plugged into my computer before.
This seems to be setup by default in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but is not working for me with a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze and KDE4. I've spent the past 2 hours Googling for a solution and have turned up nothing. UPDATE: My results are inconsistent. Sometimes Debian mounts devices to mount points based on the volume names, and other times it gives them generic mount points (e.g. /media/usb1).
I am trying to setup fstab to automatically mount my NTFS partitions. I have used various Mount managers to create the entries in fstab. The fstab seems fine, but when mounting at boot or even via Nautilus I get the error message that I do not have permission to mount the disk.
1) Can this permission be set in the fstab file? If so what is the syntax of the fstab entry?
2) If not, is there a tool i.e. GUI to set the mount permissions?
I'm not really sure this is the right category for this post...
I've been thinking and reading but I really don't find a solution, and this is why I decided to post here. I'm not a newbie using Linux but I know absolutely nothing about nfs and related stuff. If explanations are not clear/precise I'm sorry and absolutely open to explain myself better (I'm really desperate, at this point).
I'm running a Debian in a VirtualBox inside a RHEL5. To supply space to the virtual machine I'm trying to mount a disk (? maybe not?) that I created in the RHEL.
In RHEL: I created a directory /some/path/dir and I granted access to it from the VM (edit /etc/exports file and restart the nfs service)
In Debian: I created a directory to be used as mounting point (mkdir /other/nice/path/dir) and I tried to mount (mount -t nfs -v redhat:/some/path/dir /other/nice/path/dir). What happens next is the following:
mount.nfs: timeout set for Thu ...
mount.nfs: text-based options ...
mount.nfs: mount(2): Input/output error
mount.nfs: mount system call failed
Now, this Input/output error is too vague to trace where the problem is, but I really have no idea about how to go more in depth (are there logs somewhere? What should I look for? ... ...).
Observed on two host systems both with openSUSE 11.3 32 bit using ext4: When a big files, in this case a 1.2 GB and a 1.7 GB is copied from DVD, usb harddrive or shared folder into a Windows 7 32 bit guest system, the copied file is corrupted. The md5sum has changed and until the guest system has been rebooted successive md5sum tests on the same file comes up with various results... After a reboot md5sum tests show consistent results, but a sum different from the original file.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone can assist me. I am looking to build a server with Debian as the host. When I installed Debian (Squeeze) the default kernel was "2.6.32-3-trunk-amd64". When I tried to install 'Virtualbox' application, I got a failure because I didn't have the 'kernel-headers' installed on my machine. I noticed there are no specific header package the 'trunk' kernel I was using. I have a few questions so I guess I should begin:
Is it safe to remove the 'trunk' kernel and boot my system on just the regular 2.6.32-3-amd64 kernel? Is this OK or not recommended? Please explain whatever is the correct answer. This is my 1st time using a 'Trunk' kernel so I don't know the in's and out's of it.

What open source virtualization software do you recommend for this purpose? I am trying virtualbox but heard good things about KVM. I have some questions regarding vbox and posted them on vbox forums - [URL].
I am leading a project at work that will require at least one new server. There will be a development server and a production server, which changes from development will be rolled onto. Unfortunately, I am more of a web programmer than a Linux guru, and I really don't know whether or not it is better to have two physical servers or two virtual servers on one machine. I don't think there will be a huge toll on the machine, as there will probably be around 1000 total users and less than 100 on at any given time. We are also able to spend quite a bit on the server, so I'm sure one could handle it, but I just wanted to check and see what the advantages and disadvantages would be in this situation.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a customer who has (currently) three servers running Centos 5.5, one running Windoze 2003 and around thirty or so workstations running XP Pro.
I've just been reading about RedHat's product - RHEVD and was wondering of anyone knows if this product (or anything similar) is aavailable under CentOS.
Basically what we need to be able to do is to virtualize the XP workstations so that the staff can connect via a browser (inside the office or off-site - or for that matter anywhere) and be presented with a standard desktop.
I know I can achieve this using Citrix XenDesktop or VMWare View but I would prefer to use a FOSS solution if one exists. Having said that it has to be robust and well past Beta
I have two internal hard drives.I just installed Debian Lenny in the smaller 80GB. But when I try to access the other hard drive it shows:
"Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume"
info:
-The 80GB is on dual boot with Windows 7 and Debian Lenny.
-The 500GB secondary hard drive is NTFS filesystem.
One of the things holding me back from building a new system with nothing but Linux is the vague possibility that that I might need to use some proprietary program that only works on Wind'ohs in the future. So far it has been easy to keep dual boot systems around, but a new system will be > 4 Gb of RAM of course, so I can't just install one of my copies of Win XP on it. But buying a new 64-bit version of Wind'ohs for ~$200 seems a waste.Is it now possible to run XP in a "virtual" machine under Debian? More importantly, is it possible to install XP completely from within the virtual machine so it never sees the > 4 Gb or RAM and freaks out? What sort of hardware is required to do something like this? I presume a CPU with certain special capabilities is essential, but wouldn't those special instructions (whatever they are) be pretty standard now? Would the virtual XP install need its own partition?
