Nope - If I need it, I do a file on disk instead... - or another partition which is also 'full disk' in the LVM... I can recommend this approach. The pre-allocate swap as part of your disk image used by anaconda has led to some very, very inefficient configurations for virtual machines. My one concern is that I'm not sure you've succesfully aligned your partitions with 4096 byte block boundaries, It makes a big performance difference if your back end storage is NetApp or other setups that use bulky, modern 4096 byte block disks. Do check the alignments on your disks with fdisk -l after setup. Mind you, I've previously written tools to pre-partition a disk, drop a big old OS image tarball into the swap space, and used *that* to uncompress an OS image onto the other partitions. It was very, very fast indeed, and worked on roughly 13,000 hosts in one month, 12 years ago, and was *much* faster than the old replicate a disk image technology.

Loosing the 512-bytes for the partition table? On some setups it can cause major write degradations in the virtual machine. If you can imaging the disk being set up in 4Kb clusters - which LVM then adheres to - but on the DomU disk with a partition, the alignment for partition data is now 0 + 512 bytes instead of 0. This means a write of 4Kb would write two sectors to the physical disk (first being 512 bytes + 4Kb, the second being the 512 bytes that give us an offset). Modern fdisk starts partitions at 2048 and not 512.
