I think that what you are really talking here is about installing VB with the DYNAMIC option for space allocation. Doing this has the price of less than perfect performance as there is an overhead in trying to ensure that the disc space keeps growing to accommodate additional data - until at least when the VMs are stabilised.
I want to avoid this by simply assigning enough disc space to cover all my current and potential needs. And doing so I also have a clear idea of how much space I would need on an external HDD to do backups of the VMs.
Am I wrong in my thinking?
I don't know if you are wrong. All I can say is that I've always used Dynamic allocation....but what I do with my VMs isn't I/O intensive. So, I've not noticed any performance issues. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
