== Disk Partitioning == Since each guests is a seperate root filesystem somewhere in the host system filesystem hierarchy, it is advisable to create a partitioning scheme that fits your needs. Discussing all possible disk configuration is surely out of the scope of this document, however you should take the following guidelines into account while setting up disk space for your guest systems: * Generally, one big partition for ''all'' guest systems should suffice * If you don't want to use [[index.php?title=Disk_Limits_and_Quota&action=edit|Disk Limits]] you can use one partition per guest system to limit its available disk space. However this will (in most cases) prevent an easy enlargement of disk space later on. * If you want to use [[index.php?title=Disk_Limits_and_Quota&action=edit|Quota]] ''inside'' your guest system you have to use seperate partitions per guest system. This will probably change in the future * You should take care of hard disk failure, e.g. use RAID systems, make regular backups, etc. * To obtain more flexible space management consider using some Volume Management solution like lvm, lvm2 or evms. <div class="editsection" style="float:right;margin-left:5px;"> [<nowiki/>[[index.php?title=Installation_Considerations&action=edit§ion=8|edit]]] </div> <span id="Final_Notes"></span> <span id="final-notes"></span>
