Hi, If you can't make use of SAN, NAS, or iSCSI storage; I would recommend going the ZFS route on the local non-boot disks and using image files or volumes. You'll get better performance with the volumes for your guests. You can still do snapshots/clones with the volumes, so no loss in functionality there.

However, that restricts me to 2 domains. I dont really want to boot from a SAN. Would it be better to create a large zpool from the 4 disks and use the snapshot and clone technique?
