Have you had any performance issues with freenas? It has been mentioned on some blogs that freenas might have performance issues. Not sure why. A clean Centos with NFS sounds ok also. What do you do if you need snapshots of data? Lvm snapshots? Alex On December 23, 2016 5:08:42 PM EET, "Краснобаев Михаил" <milo1@ya.ru> wrote:
Hi,
it mainly depends on the budget. I can give you some advice from my own experience:
SMB systems from QNAP or any other vendor don't cope well with the load that OVirt generates (simultaneous access), because they are usually built on slow drives.
Using 15K drives helps a bit. I have a Centos machine that is used only as a file storage (NFS, 4x15K drives in raid5).
I would suggest trying to built a Freenas machine on NL-SAS drives + SSD cache. In my opinion it would the most cost efficient decision.
Best regards,
MIkhail

Hi all,
I am thinking to setup an environment with oVirt and centralized storage using a NAS that supports NFS and iSCSI.
The setup will be used to host approx 20 VMs. The VMs will be running critical services and not for testing. I have seen several from QNAP, iXsystems (freenas mini), ... What NAS would you recommend for this setup?
