Is there an el7 build of this available too?

I'm replying to 'up' this as well as I'm most interested in this. I actually thought this was implemented and working too.

Hello Joop,
thanks for raising the issue as it is one of the things I assumed are already implemented and working.
Sadly I cannot provide any answer ...

I have been trying to use libgfapi glusterfs support in oVirt but can't get it to work. After talks on IRC it seems I should apply a patch ( http://gerrit.ovirt.org/33768 ) to enable libgf BUT I can't get it to work. Systems used: - hosts Centos7 or Fedora20 (so upto date qemu/libvirt/oVirt(3.5)) - glusterfs-3.6.1 - vdsm-4.16.0-524.gitbc618a4.el7.x86_64 (snapshot master 14-nov) - vdsm-4.16.7-1.gitdb83943.el7.x86_64 (official ovirt-3.5 vdsm, seems newer than master snapshot?? )
Just adding the patch to vdsm-4.16.7-1.gitdb83943.el7.x86_64 doesn't work, vdsm doesn't start anymore due to an error in virt/vm.py.
Q1: what is de exact status of libgf and oVirt. Q2: how do I test that patch?
I experimented a little more and found that if I create a VM in oVirt on a glusterfs storage domain and start it, it won't use libgfapi, BUT if I use virsh on the host where the VM runs and then add a disk the libgfapi way the VM will see the disk and can use it. So the underlying infra is capable of using libgf but oVirt isn't using it. Thats where the patch comes in I think but I can't get it to work.
Correct. oVirt up until now didn't use libgfapi because of missing features (e.g. live snapshot). It seems that now all those gaps have been fixed and we're trying to re-enable libgfapi.
I just mentioned that I uploaded an el6 build here:
https://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm-libgfapi/
and sources here (to rebuild on fedora):
https://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm-libgfapi/source/
Let me know if the most of you are using fedora and I'll make a build on fedora as well.
Please let me know how it goes. Thanks, -- Federico _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
