For me, moving to virtualisation would gain me snapshots (although<br>
maybe i should look into LVM snapshots..) which would make upgrades<br>
troublefree - i've had it in the past where an upgrade (mythtv<br>
specifically) had a number of regressions in it. Obviously these were<br>
fixed but it took a few weeks for things to be all ironed out again;<br>
snapshot would of make that rollback so easy.<br>

Snapshots are built into the filesystem itself. I upgraded to btrfs for that very reason about 6 months ago and it's been great.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
