I run VMWare server 1.07 on Centos 5.
Upgraded to 2.0 now.
Last night I left a Windows 2000 virtual machine doing a ClamWin scan of drive M: when I went to bed around midnight. Drive M: is actually a volume on the Centos 5 host, mounted via Samba. It has about 40Gb of photos on it, plus a few other things. I had the VM up visible in the VMWare Server Console running under KDE on display 8 (X session #1), my usual configuration.
why don't you just run clamscan from CentOS to the local storage instead of using a guest OS on vmware server + clamwin + samba? ;)
I have to have it installed to do the C: drive on the VM, so just ran it on the mounted volumes too. I can do it all via that install, but an install on Centos cannot do the virtual drive. I don't want to maintain two installs when one will do fine.
This morning when I looked in on it the screen was not responsive. The keyboard seemed to be working (num lock would go on and off, though sometimes with some delay).
some kernel panic lights (sos in morse?)
No, normal keyboard lights. I tried NumLock when I could not get the monitor to come on, to see if there was any life. The NumLock light did respond to the NumLock key, so I knew that the kernel was still running.
In my original post I detailed how I was eventually able to get a bash console to come up, and get the computer to reboot.
After the reboot, things seem pretty normal. However, I found this in /var/log/messages, and wonder what they mean, especially the one at 04:02:08 about debug info.
X server crashed (nvidia driver crashed? or hardware issue on the video card or the mainboard) then samba crashed
I updated the nvidia driver. Did have one other Xserver crash today. Didn't loose anything important, just all of the sudden got flipped out to the login prompt. I had another Xserver terminal open, but it was not affected by that crash.
