Hello All,

I was doing a bit of research with regards to migrating from our current OpenVZ VPS installations to a small cloud with the purpose of providing SaaS to customers. I looked at a number other Opensource Cloud Projects and I have decided to give Opennebula a try as it seems like a great project to get involved with.

I am trying to devise a suitable partitioning scheme for the Front-End Management Server and the Host Node. I looked through the documentation but I don't see any info with regards to the partitioning requirements so I would be grateful for your best practice recommendations.

*** Front-End Management Server ***

OS: Ubuntu 11.04 LTS 64-bit
Installation: Self Contained in /srv/cloud/one
Hard Disk: 2 x SATA 1TB Drives in Hardware RAID 1

/dev/sda1:       300MB        /boot
/dev/sda2:           8GB        swap
/dev/sda3:         40GB        /
/dev/sda5           4GB         /tmp
/dev/sda6         40GB         /var
/dev/sda7       100GB         /srv/cloud/one
/dev/sda8       Free Space   /datastore  (LVM)


*** Host Node Specs ***

OS: Ubuntu 11.04 LTS 64-bit
Installation: Self Contained in /srv/cloud/one
Hypervisor: KVM
Hard Disk: 4 x SATA 1TB Drives in Hardware RAID 1+0
Storage: Non-Shared File Storage

/dev/sda1:       300MB         /boot
/dev/sda2:           8GB         swap
/dev/sda3:         40GB         /
/dev/sda5           4GB          /tmp
/dev/sda6         40GB          /var
/dev/sda7       100GB          /srv/cloud/one
/dev/sda8       Free Space    /datastore

We decided not to go with Non-Shared File System for the time being because one of the Instances will be a "busy" Database Server that we will migrating from a dedicated server and will need to use Local Storage.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
