Hi,
Some very newbie questions.
I have to move an old SCO-Unix server to a Cent OS 6.0 guest on a Cent OS 6.0 Host. The space used on the SCO is 65 GB.
How shall i plan the storage ? Make an image based guest of 100 GB an install on that ? Or is LVM based better regarding performance ? Should i allocate 100GB or 200 GB ? What is best ?
What about backup ? Should i take backup from the guest with tar/cpio or backup of the image file on the host ?
What is the preferable ?
Regards Thomas.
