Hi all, I posted a small question on #ubuntu-server: I noticed that ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS has quite old libvirt versions (libvir 0.7.5) which lacks many functions, like managedsave or snapshotting. What's the recommended way to get the latest versions there? <jdepi> ((ubuntu 10.10 has libir 0.8.3 which incorporates snapshotting etc)) <nijaba> jdepi: first look into backports to see if the version you want is there <jdepi> I'm a little concerned to run critical VMs on a non-LTS version... What is your opinion about this? <nijaba> jdepi: if it is not, then you have 3 choices: 1-upgrade to 10.10, 2-wait until next LTS(12.04), 3-Mess around with packages <nijaba> jdepi: I would have the same concerns as you <jdepi> thanks :-) but not very comforting <nijaba> jdepi: but only if I know I won't be upgrading that machine in the next 12month <jdepi> nijaba: i don't quite understand what you want to say? <nijaba> jdepi: non LTS versions are as stable as LTS ones, they just have a shorter life cycle <jdepi> aha <jdepi> ok, sorry, of course <jdepi> nijaba: it's 'just' a VM host, which will run our business's mail server (W2003-DOMINO) as a KVM <nijaba> jdepi: I see... try to discuss whith hallyn when he is around, as he has been doing most of the KVM/qemu maintenance since 10.04 <jdepi> nijaba: thanks, i'll try Presently, I will upgrade the VM host to 10.10, since a test machine has been doing it's hypervisor job for some weeks without a problem. I would be pleased to get some more remarks from people with more experience then mine :-). The network stack is running on a bridged bond to allow for virtio. Kind regards, Jürgen
