Hello,
I am wondering what the recommended bonding modes are for the different
types of networks:
- Management/Display
- Guest VM Traffic
0, 5, 6 are NOT supported over bridges (hence, for guest VM traffic)
- Storage (NFS)
Unless you have multiple mounts (multiple NFS storage domains) you are
unlikely to get a bandwidth improvements, only HA from bond for NFS (in
that sense, it's better to use iSCSI in such a scenario)

As explained above, for NFS, it's not going to help performance-wise.
