[one-users] Partitioning scheme

[Errol Samuels]

Hello All,

I was doing a bit of research with regards to migrating from our current 
OpenVZ VPS installations to a small cloud with the purpose of providing 
SaaS to customers.  I looked at a number other Opensource Cloud Projects 
and I have decided to give Opennebula a try as it seems like a great 
project to get involved with.

I am trying to devise a suitable partitioning scheme for the Front-End 
Management Server and the Host Node.  I looked through the documentation 
but I don't see any info with regards to the partitioning requirements 
so I would be grateful for your best practice recommendations.

*** Front-End Management Server ***

OS: Ubuntu 11.04 LTS 64-bit
Installation: Self Contained in /srv/cloud/one
Hard Disk: 2 x SATA 1TB Drives in Hardware RAID 1

/dev/sda1:       300MB        /boot
/dev/sda2:           8GB        swap
/dev/sda3:         40GB        /
/dev/sda5           4GB         /tmp
/dev/sda6         40GB         /var
/dev/sda7       100GB         /srv/cloud/one
/dev/sda8       Free Space   /datastore  (LVM)


*** Host Node Specs ***

OS: Ubuntu 11.04 LTS 64-bit
Installation: Self Contained in /srv/cloud/one
Hypervisor: KVM
Hard Disk: 4 x SATA 1TB Drives in Hardware RAID 1+0
Storage: Non-Shared File Storage

/dev/sda1:       300MB         /boot
/dev/sda2:           8GB         swap
/dev/sda3:         40GB         /
/dev/sda5           4GB          /tmp
/dev/sda6         40GB          /var
/dev/sda7       100GB          /srv/cloud/one
/dev/sda8       Free Space    /datastore

We decided not to go with Non-Shared File System for the time being 
because one of the Instances will be a "busy" Database Server that we 
will migrating from a dedicated server and will need to use Local Storage.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
