solusvm partition
Hi,
Can someone help me, what is the best way to deploy a Centos 6 server with the solusvm recommended partitions?
/ 80GB+ (KVM templates & iso's will be stored in /home/solusvm/kvm)
SWAP 4GB+ (Virtual servers may use host swap if there is a real memory shortage)
Logical Volume Group (LVM) remaining space (Logical Volume Group Only, SolusVM will create the logical volumes for the virtual servers inside this group)
I am interested to know what to do when we reach the "partition table laid out" during the centos installation where you have several volumes and hardrives. What do we change?
thank you

Yes Jack, with KVM
It all depends on your setup. If you're using ordinary disks and space isn't at a premium then just create a single RAID array with all the disks and break it up roughly as you described (though you probably don't need 80GB for /).
If you're using SSDs for example then you can be a bit more clever to save space.
Jack,
I need to know what to do, I have a raid1 with 2 disks, and when I boot I get an image like this one: http://linuxmoz.com/how-to-install-centos-6-linux-for-servers-desktops/ just after the image that have the "use all space" option selected
in this case there is a lv_root ext4 and a lv_swap with 2gb called swp
in this situation what will I have to do? to delete both and create a new lv_root with 80gb and a lv_swap with 4gb? what is the normal action to do here?
so can anyone assist me with this issue?
is this the correct way
but it seems LVM partition is this the correct way to do it at solusvm?
