Hey was hoping someone can quickly check this set up out




STORAGE


1. local


2. openvz01- this is a 500GB LV mounted as a directory (from the VG vmdisks) used to store my containers


3. vmdisks - this is a 1.76TB VG used to store my KVM machines ( –500GB that is used as an LV mounted as the directory openvz01)




when I create KVM vms and selectvmdisks for my storage It defaults to RAW and becomes blanked out. Inthe youtube videos from the official Channel all disk formats can bechosen. is this right, any ideas?


Thanks,

Nathan
 
if you use LVM, you use block devices directly so there is no format. therefore its no option here to choose (was a minor bug in first beta releases)
 
thanks for the explanation Tom, is using LVM like this the recommended way?

sorry, still trying to get my head around everything
