Thanks for this info! Would be great if the temporary storage could ultimately be made to be persistent
Having persistent data on local storage will make your life very hard when the time comes around to secure and back up that important data. I think you can enjoy both worlds by using temporary local storage for I/O-intensive calculation, and then store the important final results to a central storage you can easily secure and back up. If what you want to do is pool together your local storage to get something that looks like a cheap central storage, then you are in the realm of ceph/gluster/hyper-converge. There is a performance and complexity overhead to using those technologies. (And not everything is supported by oVirt yet)
