[Xen-users] Xen and LVM - partitionning and performance
Hello, -I am running a Xen server (debian Etch) with DomU (bootstaped) using LVM partitions. For each DomU I have a "/" and a swap LVM partition. For a "classic" (non virtualized) Linux server, we usually set up different partitions for /usr, /var... - for performance, security and backup considerations... What about LVM partitions? I have not seen on the Web any configuration with more than 2 LVM partitions. -I have run a program processing statistics and requiring fast disk access. LVM partitions seem to be slower than "classic" partitions. Is there a way to improve LVM performances? Thanks and Regards, Thomas _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
