When talking about using a block device for hard disk image for virtual machine, Boyd said:
However, this may or may not actually increase your performance, depending on the virtualization software. If they use the same techniques as the kernel uses for swap files, the performance increase is tremendously minimal. do people know a virtual machine software that can improve performance by making use of a separate harddisk instead of a disk image?
Sorry for posting similar questions twice, but last thread went to the discussion of "can a virtual machine use harddisk as harddisk image" even since the very first follow-up posts so I think restart another thread with clearer question helps. Thank you all for who replied my last question. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
