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
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.
