For this to work we need the KVM to either be able to boot without it, as when we restore the backup...

    Detect container with high activity command

    This might be more an LXC question but I was wondering what are the key forensic commands when the pve server becomes unstable or with a high activity.

    Mount hosts directory to KVM

    Not having "bind type" mount points from hots to VM has always been one of our main pullbacks from using KVM more extensively. I am trying to avoid NFS, sftp or SAMBA as an option and have just been reading about VirtFS - 9p virtio drivers (http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/9p_virtio) I've found...
