Re: [Xen-users] Performance difference between a "partition image	file"	
 
Hi Kevin
 I do not have numbers, but the partition based option should have a 
better performance.
You can try yourself that, running a benchmark like bonnie++ inside your 
image file domU as well as inside your partition based domU.
Then, you will have numbers to share with us ;-)
Cheers,
N

 Does anyone know how significant the performance hit is when using a 
partition image file for the file system of a domU instance as opposed 
to using a file system on a separate disk?
 
For example:
 
disk =['tap:aio:/xen/images/mydomU_partition.img,xvda1,w']
*vs*
disk =['phy:hda1,xvda1,w']
  
I realize the second config would be faster, but will the first one 
work pretty well? Does anyone know of any performance papers written 
on this subject?
 
Cheers,
Kevin
