KVM Storage Best Practices?
-
What the Best Practice for KVM storage? Just a simply directory?
If so, how do I change the default directory to something more logical? or should I just leave it?
-
For a server or workstation? How many VMs?
On a server, I typically mount a separate partition as
/DATA
.
On my workstations, I just use my user home directory. -
I usually use just a directory. If the VM has to store data I make a preallocated QCOW2 for the data. If it's stateless, I don't usually bother with preallocating.
-
Just a simple directly most of the time.

I have mine in a separate directory.

I have mine in 2 directories:
/data/windows_vm
/data/linux_vmI also have a /data/iso for ISO files
