If so, as far as the OS/installation disk is concerned it is a normal disk like any other. So you can then partition it any way you want from GUI. > Would you recommand partioning > the drive if so I can only mount > / /usr /swap > Why don't you follow John's suggestion and use LVM? You can install your OS easily in 50GB; my vm host (KVM/libvirt) uses around 6GB for the OS. Create a VG and put the OS partitions you want there in 10-50G total; I think the OS will be happy if you just have / and swap if you do not want to think about sizes. Leave the rest unused for now. Once you have a working machine, then decide how you want to allocate the rest of the disk (or disks). Worry about emulation after you have a running server thingie. Which emulation do you plan on running? > I am not best at describing my problems Have you considered making a diagram instead? > Cheers, > > Steve >> On Mar 25, 2015, at 5:58 PM, John R Pierce <pierce at hogranch.com> wrote: >> >> On 3/25/2015 2:42 PM, Stephen Drotar wrote: >>> I’m setting up virtualization and need the VMs to have a certain size of Disk but is only allowing 50GB per volume and I need to find a way to increase that >> >> what is only allowing this?? >> >> For virtualization, I would create a LVM VG (Volume Group), and for each virtual disk, create a LV (Logical Volume). >> >> Normally, I don't put virtual disks on the same drive(s) as my OS but if this is a single drive server, there's not much choice in the matter. >> >> >> >> -- >> john, recycling bits in santa cruz >> >> _______________________________________________ >> CentOS mailing list >> CentOS at centos.org >> http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
