Re: [Xen-users] How to initiate a guest installation from the CD-ROM media

Nico,

Can you please explain why it's better to use LVM partitions in compare to
regular partitions with regards to image management.

Thanks,

Ido

Yes, para-virtualization is noticeably faster than full virtualization.

partitions, not files. But if your system is already built and
configured, that's not always feasible.
