While I haven't run that many VM's on a single server, I've had no issues with Hobbit running on them. My server is on a VM session and I have a range of clients also on VM sessions (Centos mostly but also Suse and W2K)

Running latest hobbit.

Regards Geoff

It seems to be unrelated to hobbit really, but I get odd crashes of the daemon, I had to run an fsck the other day after getting an image, and now that we had a VM server crash we can't restore ANY of our images of it, no matter what we do. I've personally restored some of the older images before and now none of them work. The other 50 or 60 VM's are all fine but this one just isn't having it.

I just wanted to make sure there weren't any specific hobbit-related issues with running on a VM, so now I can probably dig into the next level or just move it off the VM entirely.

Thanks for all the replies, Brian Thompson

    It shouldn’t care what it’s on, as long as it’s got a network
    connection.  There’s nothing that low-level in hobbit to care
    what it’s running on unless it’s just a lack of system
    resources.
    
     
    
    What kind of problems are you having?

    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.
    
    Thanks,
