i'd just want to add my '+1 votes' on both getting rid of JVM
dependency and using block devices (usually LVM) instead of ext3/btrfs
If the chunks into which the virtual drives are split are quite small (say
the 64MB used by Hadoop), LVM may be a less appropriate choice. It doesn't
support very large numbers of very small logical volumes very well.
Also, on _loaded_ systems, I noticed creating/removing logical volumes
can take really long (several minutes); where allocating a file of a
given size would just take a fraction of that.
Sot sure how it would matter here, but probably it would.
