      Oh yeah, that is super annoying. Anytime i want to do anything, I am prompted for a password about 8 times.

        You can set up key based authentication and that problem goes away...

        ssh-copy-id user@kvmserver

        will stop it from asking for your password every time. You just have to put your user into the livbirt group on the KVM server.

          You also need to make sure your user is in the libvirt group on the KVM server side.

            Awesome. I'm out at the moment but will do this and report back.

            Thanks!

              I cannot upvote this enough.

                I'll be doing this shortly (as a test against Hyper-V) so I'll be following this thread.

                  OMG, that is so much better. Thank you. Now your comment from earlier this week @EddieJennings makes perfect sense. 🙂

                        This is bizarre. I just set up a Plex VM on KVM. If I pump a lot of traffic to the VM (like copying movies to it), the VM will go into a paused state.

                          Check the SAR report to see what the wait states are like.

                            Sigh... no need. I know why. I am out of space on the host drive. Stupid mistake.

                            How would you suggest the partition layout for the HyperVisor? I have 4.5 TB of space once the array is setup. Obviously, I'll be using LVM here.

                              One small volume for the hypervisor, maybe 12GB. Everything else in one big volume.

                                Yeah, so not the "Automatic partition" defaults on the standard installation....

                                            No worries. My family is on me asking why Plex isn't available, so I just went with it. 🙂
