Hello,
I have a KVM system running on RHEL 5.4. It hosts 4 guest VMs. One of the guest host fails to get back the mounted filesystems after the system reboots. Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be?

Hi,
I have an problem with ACLs over NFS3. The Problem is, when i mount a nfsshare from an KVMguest, the UnixACLs were not mapped too. I don't know why. But this is only when i have the NFSshares on an virtulamachine. When i do the same with ein real machine, ACLs work well.

VIRT-CONVERT(1) Virtual Machine Install Tools VIRT-CONVERT(1)NAME
virt-convert - convert virtual machines between formats
SYNOPSIS
virt-convert [OPTION]... INPUT.VMX|INPUT-DIR [OUTPUT.XML|OUTPUT-DIR]
DESCRIPTION
virt-convert is a command line tool for converting virtual machines from one format to another. Pass in either a VM definition file (such
as VMWare vmx format) or a directory containing a VM. By default, a new VM definition file, and converted disk images, will be placed in a
new output directory.
If an output directory is specified, it will be created if necessary, and the output VM definition placed within, along with any disk
images as needed.
If an output VM definition file is specified, it will be created alongside any disks in the same directory.
OPTIONS
Any of the options can be omitted, in which case virt-convert will use defaults when required. An input VM definition or containing
directory must be provided. By default, an output directory is generated based upon the name of the VM. The default input format is VMWare
vmx, and the default output format is a libvirt "image" XML definition (see virt-image(5)).
-h, --help
Show the help message and exit
Conversion Options
-i format
Input format. Currently, "vmx", "virt-image", and "ovf" are supported.
-o format
Output format. Currently, "vmx" and "virt-image" are supported.
-D format
Output disk format, or "none" if no conversion should be performed. See qemu-img(1).
Virtualization Type options
Options to override the default virtualization type choices.
-v, --hvm Create a fully virtualized guest image
Convert machine to a hvm/qemu based image (this is the default if paravirt is not specified)
-p, --paravirt Create a paravirtualized guest image
Convert machine to a paravirt xen based image
General Options
General configuration parameters that apply to all types of guest installs.
-a ARCH, --arch=ARCH
Architecture of the virtual machine (i686, x86_64, ppc). Defaults to that of the host machine.
--os-type=OS_TYPE
Optimize the guest configuration for a type of operating system (ex. 'linux', 'windows'). This will attempt to pick the most suitable
ACPI & APIC settings, optimally supported mouse drivers, virtio, and generally accommodate other operating system quirks. See
virt-install(1) for valid values.
--os-variant=OS_VARIANT
Further optimize the guest configuration for a specific operating system variant (ex. 'fedora8', 'winxp'). This parameter is optional,
and does not require an "--os-type" to be specified. See virt-install(1) for valid values.
--noapic
Override the OS type / variant to disables the APIC setting for fully virtualized guest.
--noacpi
Override the OS type / variant to disables the ACPI setting for fully virtualized guest.
Miscellaneous Options
-q, --quiet
Avoid verbose output.
-d, --debug
Print debugging information
--dry-run
Proceed through the conversion process, but don't convert disks or actually write any converted files.
EXAMPLES
Convert a paravirt guest from "image.vmx":
# virt-convert --arch=i686 --paravirt image.vmx
Convert a 64-bit hvm guest:
# virt-convert --arch=x86_64 vmx-appliance/ hvm-appliance/
