Re: [Xen-users] LVM filesystem or partition

Hi, installing a Centos 5 guest with virt-install gives me LV with a

I was now wondering if there is any disadvantage with the partition
instead of the
file system. Obviously the partition has the advantage that I can
easily mount it on
Dom0.
Any experience with LV root partition against LV file systems ?
Thanks,

If you use the LV as a whole Xen file system, you have to go through
some extra steps using "kpartx" to access its internal partitions. Tools
tools like fdisk or parted used inside the Xen system whinge less, and
you can use partition resizing tools inside of the guest domain. And I
don't think that RedHat's anaconda installer is happy *at all* about
dealing with partitions like xvda1 without an xvda device behind them,
but my memory of that is from a while ago. You could try it.
