How is it exactly done with the firewire to connect to multiple computers?On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 03:18:01PM +0200, Christoph Egger wrote:On Friday 27 August 2010 15:08:47 Pasi Kärkkäinen wrote:On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 06:33:35PM +0530, Dhananjay Goel wrote:Yes, exactly. So, we wanted to know if it is possible to *share USB* across VMs.I don't think USB protocol has been designed for *sharing*. I'm pretty certain only one computer/device/VM can use USB device at a time.This might work with firewire devices, I'm not sure.Yeah, firewire (iee1394) is designed to so that you can attach the devices to multiple computers.. If you attach the same firewire-disk to multiple computers, and use the disk from multiple computers at the same time, you *will* corrupt the filesystem on the disk. Unless you run some kind of filesystem that has lock-manager, that can coordinate the shared access to the disk.. ie. you must be running cluster-aware filesystem. -- Pasi Michal -- Michal Novotny<minovotn@xxxxxxxxxx>, RHCE Virtualization Team (xen userspace), Red Hat _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
