what's your recommendation for the filesystem "underlayer" for a Xen VM? A partition, a file, a sparse file?
I use files, they are easy to manage. They ease up maintenance, since you can move them around, easily create new ones, etc. But I guess that raw partitions or LVM volumes are faster.
Files are good enough for our purposes, but the VMs don't heavily do disk I/O.
