Re: [Moosefs-users] KVM on MFS

[Thomas S H. <tha...@gm...>]

I am not familiar with using proxmox for managing KVM, I have always used
libvirt. When running KVM virtual machines with the storage on MooseFS I
have had no problems, I have used QEMU 0.12 through 0.14.
Can you manually start the KVM virtual machines via the qemu-kvm command?
How does proxmox manage/run the virtual machines?

At the end of the day KVM should have no problems running virtual machines
on MooseFS, I have been doing it for quite some time.

What is your underlying OS for your hypervisors and Moosefs chunkservers?
What version of MooseFS are you using?
