Hello,
We usually create a separate image file for the data FS if it is
big (80 GB or more). It can make maintenance / restore from backup
easier but there are no problems with large files so if you want, you
may create one big file for the DomU with everything.
I create a ~70GB file by default for OS, applications and data
and if somoeone needs more for data, I simply create another file (e.g.
100 GB) and attach it to the DomU as another virtual disk.
Regards,
Daniel
