KVM based Napp-in-One is the newest

[StephD]

I read :

1.5 Virtualization within the OS-Kernel (KVM - Kernel based virtual machines, needs real stable systems best with isolation of functions like with zones)

This is the newest; No extra system below like ESXi or at application level on top but within the Kernel. This is now in OpenIndiana and base of the next ZFS all-in-one

This seems great so where are we now ? Has anyone had any luck with it ?

KVM has been out for a while. It's great for pretty much everything except Windows virtual machines as Virtio driver support is pretty bad. The list of pros for KVM is pretty long compared to others if you ask me.

it's not pretty, and even parted reported that my partitions are not aligned, but i was able to create pools by creating partitions and specifying them as /dev/sdX[1] where X is the letter of the drive. I know, I know, device by id is better but this isn't a production box, just for tinkering.
