Re: [PLUG] VMware in Ubuntu repos?
|
In Gutsy, kvm performance was unacceptable for GUI operating systems
like Windows (character mode Linux ran fine). In Hardy's newer
kernel, kvm performance is excellent. [Caveat: any time you run one
file system on top of another, IO performance suffers. Don't use kvm
for anything that needs fast IO. I don't know whether kvm supports
iSCSI.]
I wonder if kvm is a tongue in cheek reference to KVM, an inside joke
for the developers.
