Re: [Users] Can't add NFS domain

The critical information that page above is lacking, is that kernel 3.4.* is _not_ available, for FC17, in ready-made RPM. So this command: # rpm -qa | grep kernel-3.4 will _NOT_ produce output, and searching the web for "kernel-3.4" FC17 RPMs will get you to plenty of "rt" kernel that, being real-time oriented, I wonder if are suitable for our virtualization goals (or not...). In the end, I saw that kernel-3.4 is correctly packaged and delivered with FC16 updates and yesterday I (succesfully) installed: kernel-3.4.9-2.fc16.x86_64.rpm [1] Afterwards, the NFS/ISO domain was immediately added, with no problems (NFS server is a FreeNas box). Some minor issue relates to UID/GID mapping, but these are easily solvable, thanks to mentioned web-page (Troubleshooting NFS...) I have _NOT_ a clear idea about the impact of such a setup: - - a (current, updated) FC17 setup; - - kernel-3.4.9 and related (quite old) kvm kernel module; - - (very new) virtualization-preview repository enabled [2] (I need v-motion between VMs), hence: - libvirt 0.9.13 - qemu 1.2 - qemu-kvm 1.2 ...but I will investigate in the upcoming days (BTW: I'm having very poor NFS and network performance, but these could be caused by my hardware setup). So, in the end, I can finally correctly power-up my first VM and access its console via VNC (on my Ubuntu notebook, spice-client is not available, and I want to spend my efforts in "core" ovirt-issues, insted of compiling firefox addons). I can see the network-setup of a CentOS test-vm starting but... nothing else. I'm starting, right now, investigating those other issues. Should you need further info, don't hesitate to ask. HTH.
