Hi all, I am responding to a post back in Oct 2003 when the checkpointing feature was announced for DragonFly. I have been doing some research on this, and have seen some projects that use Xen VMM to achieve checkpoints of guest OSes. So I was looking for inputs from people as to what everyone feels about checkpointing, whether it should be done at the physical machine level or VM level. Pros and Cons of each approach, if any further development was done on DragonFly for checkpoint since then and if it was stopped, why? Are there serious limitations to checkpointing a physical machine? Sorry for such a vague posting, but I thought this would be a good platform to get some feedback. Thanks, Sid.
