Create a raw disk LVM volume to be used in VirtualBox
Posted by kimus | September 20, 2008 @ 12:09
To be able to create a VirtualBox virtual machine, or any kind of desktop virtualization software, needs to create some kind of virtual disk. The normal way is to use the VirtualBox "Create new virtual disk" wizard but it will create a virtual disk has a file. I prefer to use a physical partition, or disk if you want.
In my Linux machine setup I use LVM to handle partitions/volumes of the disks and I use LVM to handle the creation of virtual disks physical volumes.
