limetech Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 For those who will never run Xen or KVM there is no need to include hundreds of MB's of unneeded tools in root file system. Therefore include in the release both a 'bzroot-vm' and a 'bzroot' with appropriate changes to syslinux config file. Quote Link to comment
JohnO Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yes please. As one who runs unRAID as a guest on VMware ESXi, I don't foresee adding another VM layer on my unRAID guest OS. John Quote Link to comment
HellDiverUK Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Looks good to me, would be nice to cut out the excess cruft a lot of people will never use. Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 @limetech, Is there perhaps a means of treating the Xen/KVM items as an auxilary bzroot so everyone could be using the same barebones bzroot? Then if xen and if the xenzroot exist it gets augmented into it. Likewise with KVM items. Do those hundreds of MBs of uneeded tools have to be there before full boot up? If not, then could they simply be a plugin? Quote Link to comment
scottc Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 +1 I use Dockers and have no use for the Xen/KVM tools Quote Link to comment

The kernel will be the same for all boot modes, but we will have two "bzroot" files: one with and one without all the extra VM tools. Both will include docker. Make sense? The net diff between the vm and non vm mode will be vm tools. Quote Link to comment
JohnO Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Make sense? Yes. Sounds very logical. Thanks, John Quote Link to comment
