Hi,

Yeah that's true, now I remember (sorry had forgot it) that it creates at least a backup partition to store full .tar.gz backups of the system.

So yes in Chris case, I would definitely not install xcp on the SSD and save its life and space for io intenseive stuff in the VMs.

Cheers,
Sébastien

I have not installed 1.6 (yet), but if I recall correctly, XCP 1.5 created at least 3 partitions: one for "/" of 4G, another one of the same size (unused) and the rest of the disk was dedicated to LVM.
There was a thread about it not long ago:
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-users/2012-08/msg00166.html


Also, there was a hardcoded restriction of the minimum size of the target hard disk at 16Gb. Although, it's fairly easy to patch it.
google: "xcp min_primary_disk_size"

Note, I'm talking about XCP 1.5 here, have not seen 1.6.
