Hi,
Sorry this might be a bit off topic. I am getting a new laptop, and
plan to use fedora as my main OS. I will be installing Windows too for
the occasional game. I would also like to install open-solaris and/or
MacOSX, just to see what others are up to. Eventually I will also want
to run multiple VMs. It would be necessary to share data across those
OSs and VMs. I am lost as to how to partition/lvm the 250GB drive for
optimal use. Does anyone have a similar setup? any advice ?
I would partition it as follows:
5x 20GB partitions for Operating Systems
1.) Fedora (to be sub-partitioned into swap, boot, etc.
2.) OSX
3.) OpenSolaris
4.) Windows
5.) others?
Then a 100GB Data partition to be shared across all OSes.
The last 50GB, I would use for compressed VM images.
I'd do it in that order as well... simply because, on the chance you
decide to forgo/delete the OSX and/or OpenSolaris partitions... you can
easily extend the fedora partition into that space without having to
repartition. The 100GB data partition gives more than enough space in
which to share all needed data between Operating Systems and I'd suggest
using Fat32 simply because it's recognizable/mountable/readable on all
the above mentioned OSes. You can easily forgo the 50GB VM image
partition and go with a 150GB combined data/VM image partition.
Would KVM on F10 allow running the non-virtualized (i.e. on disk
installed) Windows and Solaris to run in full virt mode ? (That should
save space)
