One of the downsides of file based images is I/O performance, right?
Won't that have an adverse effect on the builders versus LVM?
Yes. I just talked w/ our Xen folks and they recommend using LVM,
and doing
lvm snapshots, back up the snapshot to an image file, so that in an
emergency
a guest could be brought up on another machine using the image file.
A variation could be having the "system partition" in a relatively
static small-ish image file and the build path on an LVM partition...
