Hello XCP Users, I''m getting my FTTP connection next week and I am setting up my first production XCP server for hosting a few VPS for webhosting and a couple virtual desktops for home and business use. I have 6 hot-swap bays that I intend to utilized for scale, not redundancy, as I''ll be using a hosted disk environment at the other end of the fibre-optic connection for my live backups to the community SAN. My question is; does it make sense to utilize the one 128GB SSD drive that I have as a dedicated drive solely for the dom0 diskspace? Or does it make mores sense to use less expensive SATA drives? What factors should be considered for this decision. Thanks for any advice. Cheers, Lance _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

Dom0 uses it''s own diskspace only when administrative tasks are performed. It reads executables from it, manipulates config files, etc. Even if the access was intensive, the FS cache would save the day. So, the slowness of the Dom0 disks does not affects the performance of DomU machines. Greetings. -- Alexandre Kouznetsov
