Re: [Xen-users] shared local partition/storage between VMs on same PC

Hi,

in my experience, generally performance loss is worse in NFS on windows 
than SMB on linux, so if I share something like this between both linux 
and windows (eg. my home NAS) I prefer SMB (v3). though my best so far 
was 60-70MB/s sequential over 1gbit lan (you can check how fast your 
network between guests is and guess the result from that).
Regards,
Gh.
