mount vz directory to different separate array?

[falko12]

I have searched the forum and found only one post about how to mount /var/lib/vz to its own LV I would like to do the same and mount it on my 2nd raid array (the first Raid 1 being the install) but i do not know the commands or how to bring it up in the web gui

any help greatly appreciated?

you can use any/multiple directory for containers. just partition and format your second array and mount it whereever you want - then just add a "directory" storage via gui.

thanks Tom, the wiki says 'This is the least flexible, least efficient storage solution' about using directory's. should I be using ext 3 or ext 4, what best practice?

thanks
