@scottalanmiller hmm, something new to learn. reading through this now: http://lwn.net/Articles/476263/

We've talked about XFS here in ML quite a bit in the last two months,

thanks for the tips. i didn't have vm tools installed on some hosts but didn't have a chance to check again today so perhaps tomorrow success after ensuring tools are installed on all hosts. they are all on HP Proliants and just Ubuntu/Win hosts so nothing unusual that I'd expect to not support this I hope.

This generally happens when you run out of space for the downloaded patch to extract to. Try logging into the host and looks for patch or temporary files that haven't been deleted.

@Jason Forever? What the heck do you do? Legal stuff?

A class action lawsuit 15 years ago, they lost but the outcome of that was everyone in the industry now has to keep all data forever. (Not to mention what they said the companies where doing as they tried against about 10 companies was not illegal)

That's a hell of a burden on the company. Gross.

That's what starting new companies and killing off old ones is for. Things like that break the cycle.

Per Apple license, I believe it still has to be virtualized on mac hardware.

Well of course, that's a given. No exception to that.

Just clarifying since OP didn't state what XenServer was running on. 😄
