Heck yeah, Linux!
Let’s see here… I need a new Debian server:
xen-create-image –hostname supernova –ip x.x.x.x –tar /stuff/images/tar/staging-etch-production.tar
Okay, I’m going to need, hmm (think think think) a cool terabyte of space on it:
lvcreate -n netshares -L 1T /dev/volgrp0
Total elapsed time: about two minutes (three if you count tweaking a Xen config file on the dom0 and the fstab file in the new domU).
Heck yeah, Linux!
