- Storage to create the VPS (DomUs) disks
Partition Scheme
| Partition | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| / | 80-100 GB | Root partition containing all Hardware Node operating system files, OS templates and ISOs |
| SWAP | 4 GB + | Paging partition for the Linux operating system(Swap memory is been used by virtual servers if there is shortage of real memory) |
| Storage | All the remaining space on the hard disk | This partition can be used to create either Logical Volumes or File Based Storage for the VPS (DomUs). NOTE for LVM : You must NOT create any Logical Volume and MOUNT it. This must be an EMPTY VOLUME GROUP. Virtualizor will not delete any pre-existing LVs in the Volume Group. But its recommended to have an empty Volume Group. NOTE for File Storage : You must create and mount the folder. |
Supported storage types
( LVM | File | Thin LVM | ZFS | ZFS Thin | ZFS Compressed | ZFS Thin Compressed | Ceph Block Device )
