MySQl might not run good locally on the disk in the VM. It is actually
not a good idea to run it on nfs filesystem. The startup should not be a
problem. Once the data grows up, it will become the problem to you. Try
to cache as much as possible that would be helping you out from lots of
problems.

Hello,
I am testing KVM on an Oracle NFS box that I have.
Does the list have any advice on best practice? I remember reading that there is stuff you can do with I/O schedulers and stuff to make it more efficient.
My VMs will primarily be running mysql databases. I am currently using o_direct.
O_DIRECT is good. I/O schedulers don't affect NFS so no need to tune
anything on the host. You might experiment with switching to the
deadline scheduler in the guest.
