I should mention one specific advantage to using LVM over file-based
images: I believe you will find that LVM performs better. This is due to
avoiding the duplicated filesystem overhead that would occur in the
file-based image approach. If the guest wants to fsync(), for example,
both filesystems need to be involved (the guest's, and the host's). With
LVM, you still have the host processing the LVM bits of that process,
???
This doesn't make sense to me.
Unless you're talking about using LVM on the HOST.
I'm not. I didn't specify this in this particular post, but I'm using
vmWare ESXi, and installing a gentoo VM to run on it.
So, I'm asking about using the LVM2 installation manual from Gentoo and
using LVM2 for just my gentoo VM...
So, in this case, is it still recommended/fully supported/safe?
Thanks
