Install GuestOS in a virtual disk
|
| [1] | I created GuestOS in LVM partition, but in this section, I create it in an image-file like Vmware products. It's easier to backup or move to another computer than the one in LVM partition. However, it's slower to access to disks than the one in LVM, though. |
