Hobbit on a virtual machine?

While I haven't run that many VM's on a single server, I've had no
issues with Hobbit running on them.
My server is on a VM session and I have a range of clients also on VM
sessions (Centos mostly but also Suse and W2K)

Running latest hobbit.

Regards
Geoff

It seems to be unrelated to hobbit really, but I get odd crashes of
the daemon, I had to run an fsck the other day after getting an image,
and now that we had a VM server crash we can't restore ANY of our
images of it, no matter what we do.  I've personally restored some of
the older images before and now none of them work.  The other 50 or 60
VM's are all fine but this one just isn't having it.
 I just wanted to make sure there weren't any specific hobbit-related
issues with running on a VM, so now I can probably dig into the next
level or just move it off the VM entirely.
 Thanks for all the replies,

                                It shouldn’t care what it’s on, as long as it’s got a network
        connection.  There’s nothing that low-level in hobbit to care
        what it’s running on unless it’s just a lack of system
        resources.
                                 What kind of problems are you having?

                                         Hi all, I was looking through the hobbit man-pages and I
        didn't see anything about running hobbit on a VM.  We are
        currently doing this and we're having all kinds of issues with
        it.  I don't know if it's an Ubuntu problem, a Hobbit problem,
        or a VMWare problem, but I thought I would check here first
        and see if anyone out there is running Hobbit on a VM, or even
        better, running it on Ubuntu on a VM and see if they've had
        any issues.
                Thanks,                 Brian Thompson
