I agree ;)

but in this particular case I meant this message out of nothing on hangout

where 7min after you already reboot the system

freedom:~# last
...
reboot   system boot  3.13.0-79-generi Sat Jul  9 16:45   still running

(16:45 UTC = 11:45 eastern time)

you could have just called me, if it was so urgent to do maintenance,
anyhow I thank you again for this

not that good):
1) that ALSO is not running

justice:~# virsh list --all
Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
...
11    aslo                           running

but as I can see it is running fine on the sister-system justice

2) that ASLO was once running on freedom -  ASLO so far was running on
TREEHOUSE, HOUSETREE and now on JUSTICE but never on FREEDOM

I am very confused,
right now I think you wanted to say "redo ASLO" or "redo JUSTICE"

I agree - this split up needs to happen

That is why I suggest you could move the last 3 VMs (beacon, replicator and
vote) away, so I could follow my original plan go with the 4 hardddrives
(all owned by OLE and Treehouse) to an other system

Bernie just to remind you of why we named the systems this way
https://www.google.com/search?q=freedom+justice&tbm=isch

your Gundam = justice (sugarlabs)
mine = freedom (treehouse)
by that we meant the harddrives
our divorce plan was to split up Treehouse/Sugarlabs entanglement between
this system and then let me go ... I would leave the case behind ;)
so you can start there from scratch there

How does this sound?
