This paper describes the design and implementation of In addition to performance improvements over a tradi- a paravirtualized file system interface for Linux in the tional virtual block device, exposing guest file system KVM environment. Today’s solution of sharing host activity to the hypervisor provides greater insight to the files on the guest through generic network file systems hypervisor about the workload the guest is running. This like NFS and CIFS suffer from major performance and allows the hypervisor to make more intelligent decisions feature deficiencies as these protocols are not designed with respect to I/O caching and creates new opportuni- or optimized for virtualization. To address the needs of ties for hypervisor-based services like de-duplification. the virtualization paradigm, in this paper we are intro- ducing a new paravirtualized file system called VirtFS. In Section 2 of this paper, we explore more details about This new file system is currently under development and the motivating factors for paravirtualizing the file sys- is being built using QEMU, KVM, VirtIO technologies tem layer. In Section 3, we introduce the VirtFS design and 9P2000.L protocol. including an overview of the 9P protocol, which VirtFS is based on, along with a set of extensions introduced for greater Linux guest compatibility.

  • An Introduction to Sysadmin Training in the Virtual Unix Lab
    EuroBSDCon 2004 Karlsruhe, Germany: An Introduction to Sysadmin Training in the Virtual Unix Lab Hubert Feyrer <[email protected]> October 31st, 2004 Abstract The Virtual Unix Lab (vulab) is an interactive course system which allows students to do Unix system administration exercises. Machines are installed on which students can do their assignments with full ”root”-access. At the end, the system checks which parts were done correctly, and gives a feedback on the exercise result. Access to the lab is via the Internet via a web-browser as well as standard Unix clients (ssh, telnet, ftp). Some detail on exercise-verification are outlined in this paper. Contents 1 Introduction & Background 2 2 The Virtual Unix Lab 2 3 A Tour trough the Virtual Unix Lab 2 3.1 User Area . 2 3.2 Admin Area . 11 3.3 Creating New Exercises . 18 4 Setup 28 4.1 Hardware . 28 4.2 Lab Machine Installation . 30 4.3 Restricting Access to Lab Machines . 31 4.4 Software . 31 5 Current Status 32 6 Future Perspectives 32 References 32 1 Introduction & Background A problem in teaching Unix system administration is the lack of machines available on which students can practice with full system administrator privileges. Without system ad- ministrator (root) privileges, many things cannot be practiced. On the other handside, when handing out root privileges, the lab machines are in an unknown state, requiring reinstalla- tion of the lab machines for future students to get a known safe & well-configured environ- ment. The Virtual Unix Lab was created to solve this problem.
