Please can anyone tell me the partition method >you have used on the host system? Thanks If you use a qcow2 or raw format file, a guest's virtual drive doesn't need a special type of partition. The defaults will place it on your /var/... directory, usually. There's nothing wrong with that, so no need to partition the hard drive in a special way. I don't use LVM because I find it harder to work with when you have to boot some recovery and off-line backup utils. (like clonezilla) If the guest is going to use its virtual drive very heavily, don't expect any kind of performance using just one drive. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
