[Xen-users] Thoughts on setup

[Donny Brooks <dbrooks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a quick question I wanted to get you guys input on. On my home Xen 
box I am wanting to move the Dom0 disk from the lv that all the domu's 
are on, basically giving it it's own dedicated drive. In this move I 
plan to change from an lvm only setup on the domu's to a raid5 with lvm. 
My question is this: for the dom0 should I be ok with an ide to compact 
flash adapter or do I need to spend ALOT more and get an SSD? The reason 
I ask is because I am maxed out on the SATA connections I have available 
and don't want to add another SATA addon card but could use the ide to 
cf and most likely be ok. I know if I go the cf route I will need to 
keep the swap partition on the lvm setup and I already write all logs to 
a remote machine. Cost is also a factor. The CF with adapter would run 
me about $30 where the SSD and addon card would run me about $125. If it 
matters I will be running centos on this machine as dom0. Thanks in advance.
