[ovirt-users] Re: Speed Issues
Hey Jayme,
thanks for replying; sorry for the delay.
If I am understanding this right, there is no real official way to
enable libgfapi. If you somehow manage to get it running then you will
lose HA capabilities, which is something we like on our production servers.
The most recent post I could find on the matter
(https://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg59664.html) read like
its worth a try for hobyyists, but for production servers I do am a
little bit scared.
Do you maybe have any document or other source that does work with 4.3.x
versions and inspires confidence? :-)

I strongly believe that FUSE mount is the real reason for poor
performance in HCI and these minor gluster and other tweaks won't
satisfy most seeking i/o performance. Enabling libgfapi is probably the
best option. Redhat has recently closed bug reports related to libgfapi
citing won't fix and one comment suggests that libgfapi was not showing
good enough performance to bother with which appears to contradict what
many oVirt users are seeing. It's confusing to me why libgfapi as a
default option is not being given any priority.
