[ale] VM guest partitioning practices

[Chuck Payne]

One thing I didn't put on there, if I am doing anything less than 100GB, it
a cow .img file ( QEMU/KVM ), anything bigger than that, I do a lvm slice
and use the lvm like a real hard drive, I get better performance doing
that, we have 10 mysql servers that run great, better than when we used
Xen.
