Hi All,
I am setting up a new openvz setup and am looking to have each guest
store its data on its own lvm partition. Can anyone give me a clue what
options I should say to the vzctl create script?
I would guess I tell it the private is the root of the lvm partition for
the guest, then root is in the normal place as that is a runtime mount?
Thanks
Mark
I have an lvm partition for each of my openvz virtual machines. The way
I organise it is to have a base directory /vz, with subdirectories for
each machine. I mount the lvm logical disk for server1 on /vz/server1,
and then create the virtual machine with "vzctl create --root
/vz/server1/root --private /vz/server1/private" (plus other options,
obviously).
If you need multiple lvm partitions in the same virtual machine, I guess
you mount them within /vz/server1/private before starting the machine -
though I haven't needed to do that.
I /really/ wish the openvz developers would move beyond kernel 2.6.32 -
kernal 2.6.33 introduced snapshot merging to LVM which would play
wonderfully with this setup.
mvh.,
David
