| 8 | This is surprising to me, because at my former employer we used LVM for |
| 9 | all of our virtual machines in Xen. It performed quite well, and we |
| 10 | never experienced any data loss due to that setup. LVM gives a lot of |
| 11 | flexibility in managing virtual machines, so I'd highly recommend it. |

| 13 | I believe LVM devices can be passed to KVM guests as well, though I have |
| 14 | never personally tried that. |
