[ovirt-users] direct mounting of vm disks?

--Sig_/.lLlEVeLgvPZAtF/dI+yD0s Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, I'm using oVirt 3.5.x w/nfs for vm file storage. I'm trying to restore a vm from backup, which entails: - scp backup.tar to vm - untar backup on vm this means all the data makes 3 trips over the network, each of which causes a load spike on my nfs server. That nfs load, of course, affects all other vms. what I'd like to be able to do is - scp backup.tar to nfs server - stop vm - mount vm disks on nfs server - untar backup on nfs server (using ionice to minimze load impact) - unmount vm disks - start vm I remember that I used to use kpartx to mount regular KVM disks, so I'm hoping that it can also be done here. Anyone else tried to make this work?
