KVM storage
Hey guys, Am trying to set up KVM on my Lenny AMD64 box and need recommendations from those who have set up KVM regarding storage memory. Following is my df -h: FilesystemSizeUsed Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 662M 252M 376M 41% / tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 1008K 9.1M 10% /dev tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G0% /dev/shm /dev/sda9 216G 51G 155G 25% /home /dev/sda8 373M11M 343M 3% /tmp /dev/sda54.6G 3.7G 726M 84% /usr /dev/sda62.8G 393M2.3G15% /var As you can see I have 2.3 G avail. in /var and want to install WXP virtually. Would also, at a later date, want to possibly play w. Fedora or some other Linux distro for grins. What are recommendations for increasing memory in /var or what would you do in this case. I have been recommended to even use a symlink from the storage area to a location where I have sufficient memory as in /home but am concerned about debian's hierarchical limitations in that. TIA for any recommendations. cheers, Whit Hansell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

If youre using kvm you can put the vm's disk image anywhere you like Dean Whit Hansell wrote: Hey guys, Am trying to set up KVM on my Lenny AMD64 box and need recommendations from those who have set up KVM regarding storage memory.

TIA for any recommendations. My recommendation is to not make so many partitions if you don't know the proper amounts to assign to each for your needs. /var is where databases and other large data ends up after all. You could put your virtual machines in /home if you want. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
