Hi all, I know that there are many ways to provide storage to a dom-u. Currently I give all my clients four disks: 1: one just containing /boot 2: one containing an lvm with / and most of the other mountpoints 3: one containing swap 4: one containing data (server) Home directories are obtained through nfs Is there any rule-of-thumb, or general best practice to get the best performance? At home I use simple files on the dom-0 machine, But how well does it perform compared with aoe, iscsi, nfs? I presume that the weakest link will remain the spot where the actual storage takes place. Best will be something like a 10Gb-SAN, but that is not available for many ;-) Hans ______________________________________________________________________ Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.
