I would do so for flexibility. I have tried to create LVM while installing FC10 using Virt-install. When I select Disk Format as LVM, mount point got disable, which simply means we cant install / or /var or swap on LVM. we tried another way to use LVM. we created 3 lvm /dev/VolgroupVoo/vm2.root, /dev/VolgroupVoo/vm2.var,/dev/VolgroupVoo/vm2.swap and install fedora with following command virt-install -n kvm-vm -r 200 -w bridge:br0 -l /fc/Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso --accelerate --os-type=linux -f /dev/VolgroupV00 /vm2.root -f /dev/VolgroupV00/vm2.var -f /dev/VolgroupV00/vm2.swap --force -x console=ttyS0 --nographics --hvm Installation got successfull but VM refused to start giving following error in log ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LC_ALL=C PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc -m 200 -smp 1 -name kvm-vm -nographic -monitor pty -boot c -drive file=/dev/vmdata/vm2.root,if=ide,index=0,boot=on -drive file=/dev/vmdata/vm2.var,if=ide,index=1 -drive file=/home/mmaeasam/Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso,if=ide,index=2 -drive file=/dev/vmdata/vm2.swap,if=ide,index=3 -net nic,macaddr=54:52:00:0a:12:4d,vlan=0 -net tap,fd=16,script=,vlan=0,ifname=vnet2 -serial pty -parallel none -usb char device redirected to /dev/pts/2 char device redirected to /dev/pts/5 info cpus exception 13 (0) rax 0000000000000000 rbx 0000000000000000 rcx 0000000000000000 rdx 0000000000000000 rsi 0000000000000000 rdi 0000000000000000 rsp 000000000000ffea rbp 000000000000ffee r8 0000000000000000 r9 0000000000000000 r10 0000000000000000 r11 0000000000000000 r12 0000000000000000 r13 0000000000000000 r14 0000000000000000 r15 0000000000000000 rip 000000000001fe05 rflags 00033086 cs 1020 (00010200/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) ds 1000 (00010000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) es 1000 (00010000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) ss 1000 (00010000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) fs 1000 (00010000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) gs 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) tr 0000 (fffbd000/00002088 p 1 dpl 0 db 0 s 0 type b l 0 g 0 avl 0) ldt 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 0 db 0 s 0 type 2 l 0 g 0 avl 0) gdt fb562/30 idt 0/3ff cr0 10 cr2 0 cr3 0 cr4 0 cr8 0 efer 0 code: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 55 89 e5 50 51 --> 06 57 8b 4e 0a 85 c9 74 10 8b 46 04 8e c0 8b 46 06 89 c7 8a 46 08 fc f3 aa 5f 07 59 58] 5d ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am not installing any graphical console for VM.
