[LayerSolutions]

Hi, I am trying to install HyperVM Xen, but the problem is I cannot seem to figure out the partitions. Like it says /boot / and swap on their website, what about the rest? I installed CentOS following the partition order of their website and automatic. I get the following error ( new_xen_install_needs_lvm_check_lxlabs_website_for_more) when I try to create VPS.

You need to have some LVM space setup on the server to install Xen/HyperVM

So pretty much when I am partitioning I just create an LVM partition?

[rghf]

Yup create an LVM but don't put any partitions in it. HyperVM will do the rest

Thanks going to give it a try.

Their website says this:

You should use LVM.
The recommended disk configuration is:

/boot /dev/hda1 (500MB)
/ /dev/mapper/vol00-root (8GB)
swap /dev/mapper/vol00-swap (1GB)


So should I create all this under LVM? What about the rest of the space?

[LayerSolutions]

Is this good or do I need to change something?
