KVM host

I have two identical 16G SSD disks. The partition layout is

{{{
sda 16G
sda1 256M
sda2 15360M

sdb 16G
sdb1 256M
sdb2 15360M
}}}

Raid

{{{
md0 raid1 sda1 sdb1
md1 raid1 sda2 sdb2
}}}

Luks

md1 luks formatted

LVM

md1 is configured as lvm with a volumegroup called vg1

with two partitons

For my system I have two small SSD disks. They are 16G each. I will use those to install the KVM host on.
