Are you trying to use 2 logical volumes to separate / and /boot inside the VM, or present 2 logical volumes (which would show up as 2 separate disks entirely, xvda and xvdb for instance) to the guest from domain-0?

If all you want to do is have 2 separate logvols for / and /boot, then just present 1 logvol to the guest (which would show up inside the guest as xvda). Then you just partition that like any other physical disk into logical volumes (as many as you want, /, /boot, /var, /home, et cetera)

If you are trying to present 2 logvols to the VM itself, those will show up as 2 separate disks inside the VM, as I mentioned (xvda, xvdb, or in HVM sda, sdb, .. you get the idea) and I would wonder why you would want to do that.

Hi!

I did some research in the archives and found one message
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-xen/2007-December/msg00019.html)
related with my doubt, but without answer that I repeat below.

"If, for example, a guest has separate /root, /boot, and swap do you
recommend as best practice a separate logical volume for each or do
you give just one logical volume to the guest for it to dice up into
the various types of file systems? Is there a significant performance
difference between these two solutions?"

If it is a good practice to separate logical volumes, how can I add 2
logical volume to be used by the guest?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Augusto
