[hobbit] Hobbit on a virtual machine?
The only problem we had with it was due to the time drifting... Because
the VM does not run 100% of the time, the clock can fall behind.
This was especially apparent on Fedora...

Hi all, I was looking through the hobbit man-pages and I didn't see anything about running hobbit on a VM. We are currently doing this and we're having all kinds of issues with it. I don't know if it's an Ubuntu problem, a Hobbit problem, or a VMWare problem, but I thought I would check here first and see if anyone out there is running Hobbit on a VM, or even better, running it on Ubuntu on a VM and see if they've had any issues.
Henrik put together a VMWare appliance with Debian+Hobbit. It's in the Hobbitmon Files page on Sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128058&package_id=20 0171
Roughly 250Mb... I've tried it, and it works just fine.

I remember reading about clock drift, but not how to fix it. That's useful, thanks... :)
I didn't run it very long. I just wanted to see how well it worked, with view to setting up a "disaster recovery" image so that if our Hobbit server crashed and burned I'd be able to fire up a copy *really* quickly on any available hardware, such as my laptop. Given that the server is a single-733MHz-cpu DL380, I figured a VMWare instance on a 2GHz laptop ought to be able to keep up fairly well. :)
