Because that would take away cache-only shares, for example.

I like my machines to have access to the whole array on one mount point. At the moment, at each start of the array I execute a script like this one: echo " [user] path = /mnt/user comment = browseable = yes # Public public = yes writeable = yes " >> /etc/samba/smb-shares.conf /usr/sbin/smbd restart With this I can just mount \\<tower>\user and have the whole array accessible. But I really would like this to be a native feature instead of me doing it manually every single time.

No.

My guess is Windows VMs cannot run on this version yet? Seeing as hvmloader is 32-bit...

Is it possible to pass through the SATA disks directly? I got them to show up as /dev/vdX with these libvirt settings: <disk type='block' device='lun'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/sda'/> <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </disk> Sadly, emhttp doesn't seem to like it. Any way to make them show up as /dev/sdX? This thread from 2011 talks about patching emhttp (urgh) to see /dev/vdX drives: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=13446.0 - I don't know if this would be enough for them to work as expected. Since the vhd you provided includes the virtio drivers, is it possible for you to make this change?

This probably has to do with the order the packages get installed, and openssl not being installed before openssh. This is an annoying issue which cropped up for me too after the last reboot (no idea what changed). I got fed up with it and just installed the OpenSSH plugin by overbyrn. Works like a charm, installs in seconds.
