I read quite a lot of advice to switch from file-image VM storage, to partition/LVM volume based.
The claim is that partition/LVM are much faster then image files.
The downside in my opinion, is that one no longer have the whole VM in a single, easy to copy and migrate file.
Can anyone advice on this, especially if there indeed any difference in new versions of Xen, and if there are any IO benchmarks to support it?
Thanks!
