Re: [Xen-users] putting virtual domains into NFS mounts into turn mounted on DRBD devices.

[zHihaO <zhihao@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm worried about this because we are going to be using these virtual 
servers for webhosting. Email and web traffic will be quite high and I'm 
afraid its gonna thrash the harddisk with the high disk i/o expected. 
And if the disk for storing the domUs are NFS exports..I'm not so sure 
if performance will be hit badly. comments anyone? or has anyone got a 
better suggestion??
