1 - what is the best RAID (0,1,5,10,50) for server running very, very
VM instances ???
2 - and config of stripes/element sizes (32, 64, 128, 256, etc, KB) ??
I guess it depends more on the kind of disk activity of the VMs rather
than
the number of VMs. Database server? Desktop? Media streamer?
mmmm.. mmmm.. and mmmm
but.. all virtual disks aren't one big image for Dom0 ???
in other words, this type of data in the virtual disks is relevant ??
It's not the file or data itself but how the data is accessed. Large
stripes
tend to perform better on large files because large files are usually read
in
a sequential, non latency-critical manner. This isn't true for images,
they're
accessed just like the underlying filesystem is (with some overhead). That
is,
rather randomly.
