[Planetlab-users] fault injection

Could you be a little clearer about your plans?   Are you asking
about introducing failures into everyone else's services running on
a particular PlanetLab node, or do you simply want to subject your own
virtual machine to simulated failures?  

Within your own virtual machine, fault injection methodologies that
work on physical machines "might" work inside the VM.  In any case,
it would be useful to find which ones do and don't.
