Hi,
according to the docs file backed virtual block devices should be
avoided, if heavy IO may occur. Use never sparse files here - so I read
on xen-users and: tap:aio should be preferred in such cases.
My question: Can this be done with vm-install ?
If yes, how ?
If no, how can it be done manually (I tried, replacing file with tap:aoi
in a working configuration - boot froze) ?
Kind regards
Gerd
