Hello! Can anyone help me with my gentoo machine.
I have physical home server with gentoo.
It runs on mbr, 4.4.1 kernel, single partition for /, nothing special.
Also it has mdraid1 of 2x4tb disks with LUKS and LVM inside LUKS + 1x3tb disk with LUKS and LVM for the backups. system disk is not encrypted. 4 disks total.
Luks partitions are mounted manually by .sh script (luksOpen, mount, start several daemons etc).
Server itself does little: samba, proftpd, iptables nat, dnsmasq, zabbix, openvpn.
So, now I want to migrate my gentoo server to Proxmox 4.1.
which is the best way to do this?
1. Just make new kvm machine, passthrough all 4 disks, so all existing data will remain? Perhaps I will have to add virtio support in kernel, not sure if it is turned on
2. I`m not tied to gentoo, so I can switch to debian lxc, reinstall all needed services (transmission-bt, samba, proftpd, zabbix, etc), in that case i will need support of aes-ni for my luks.
So I greatly appreciate any ideas on such migration.
