How should I mount the volume to allow the new system not to conflict with existing var files and in the main moment to protect the installed VMs having them available after a complete new install of leap.
Thank you.
stakanov, It just depends on where your extra storage exists now? Do you have say 50G of unpartitioned space on a drive you want to use? Are you trying to just choose another non-root filesyste with spare space to hold the images? Do you have a second spare drive you want to mount in your system to hold nothing but kvm images? If you were looking in /var that tells me you do not have a separate drive your are trying to mount somewhere, so I guess you are asking "where in my current filesystem can I either (1) use space on that partition; or possibly (2) you have unpartitioned space on the drive you can create a filesystem out of and then mount somewhere convenient in your FHS tree. With the normal partitions I've seen lately, if you have partitioned one big partition that holds all the pieces of the filesystem, then you basically need to look where there is sufficient space for the images. All thinks considered, I would probably create a /usr/local/images dir to hold images is the filesystem has sufficient space. If you have a spare drive, load it and partition as much of it you want for storage. Create a filesystem on it (say ext4) and then mount that new storage at /usr/local/images. That should give you several ways to approach it that will hopefully fit your circumstance. -- David C.
