Full Version: Integrity of Virtual Machines & Upgrading from LL2.8 to 3.0

I've another question about VMs, looking ahead to June when LL3.0 is released.
When upgrading from LL2.8 to LL3.0 I will need to do a clean install  as I've understood
that Lite Upgrade won't work when upgrading from one LL series to another. However, I want
my existing VMs to continue working in LL3.0.  How do I ensure this?

Before you answer you will need to know that:
- I have two physical SSD drives in my PC, SSD1 and SSD2
- SSD1 is the primary drive, where LL is installed as has separate root & home partitions
- SSD2 is purely for data storage (including the VMs), its directories being symlinked to /home on SDA1

Many thanks again for your advice.

If you use VirtualBox as your "host", and you going to re-insntall SSD1 system the only thing you'll need to is just to re-create the symlinks.
