Line 39: Line 41:
For my system I have two small SSD disks. They are 16G each. I will use those to install the KVM host on. {{{
vg1 root 2G (/dev/vg1/root)
vg1 swap 512M (/dev/vg1/swap)
}}}

==== Filesystems and mountpoints ====
{{{
/dev/vg1/root / (btrfs)
/dev/md0 /boot (btrfs)
/dev/vg1/swap (swap)
}}}

Configuring your disks is really two parts

  • where should the KVM host be installed
  • where will you store the KVM guests filesystem images

KVM host

Physical Disks

sda     16G
sda1   256M
sda2 15360M

sdb     16G
sdb1   256M
sdb2 15360M

Raid

md0 raid1 (sda1, sdb1)
md1 raid1 (sda2, sdb2)

Luks

md1 luks (md1_crypt)

LVM

md1_crypt lvm (vg1)

LVM volumes

vg1 root   2G (/dev/vg1/root)
vg1 swap 512M (/dev/vg1/swap)

Filesystems and mountpoints

/dev/vg1/root /     (btrfs)
/dev/md0      /boot (btrfs)
/dev/vg1/swap       (swap)
