It could be used in a similar matter is what I'm talking about.

When HyperVM breaks (which it does often), you can dive into the code and fix it.
When SolusVM breaks (which it does often), you're shit out of luck.
@HalfEatenPie I'm gong to try on my idle box, thanks... hope it's not screwy..
@HalfEatenPie Thanks for the curse of the daemon
Meh, its just something interesting you can always do.
Obviously most of my posts assume everyone has common sense.
There might be your first mistake my friend. :P
Could be second or third, I freely admit I may have lost count along the way some place.
Yeah. Basically what I did was was format the swap space, use debootstrap on CentOS to install Debian into that space, had to make some configuration changes and make it bootable, then I booted to it and formatted the rest of the system, repeated the process with the rest of the drive using my former swap as my staging ground, then when I booted to that I formatted the swap partition again and set it up as swap again.
It was quite fun.
Can we do it in a KVM?
Just try it. What's the worst that could happen? You have to reinstall the OS?
I imagine you could.
@jarland @HalfEatenPie I don't want the sysadmin to get pissed of for reinstalling on and on. But I will try it anyhow.
Personally I don't have too many issues with reinstalling the OS. Although on OpenVZ I might get a bit iffy but honestly there's really nothing too major about it.
