One more question on this. If I’m using real hardware and I make a
raw device from a logical partition on the same physical disk as the
OS. What’s your take on that vs the other scenarios?
That seems fine. The system IO activity on that spindle is probably
completely negligible. Just make sure you use a path to the partition
where you don't risk "stomping" over a system partition. I personally
prefer e.g. paths such as
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD10EALS-00_WD-WCATR4725806-part1
