Hello,
I need a word of an advice. I plan to deploy Xen on LVM.
Is it worth to do for domu's separated logical volumes for /, /usr,
/home, /var, /tmp and swap when all them will be on the same volume group?

Or should I make only / and swap partitions and don't care about
anything else?

Multiple lv's could be hard for hypervisor admin to manage, but safer
for domu OS, right?

Are there any other advantages or disadvantages of multiple lv's for domu?

Best regards

I tend to a have a separate LV for everything that is OS. The data portion (be it /home, /data, or whatever you use - this however contains data the OS can boot without), I put on a seperate LVM. I do this for backup reasons as the OS is quicker restored in case of trouble,
