Hi guys,

I think I found the source of problem. The oVirt's documentation says:

Any POSIX compliant filesystem used as a storage domain in oVirt MUST support sparse files and direct I/O.

MooseFS is based on FUSE drivers so it doesn't support direct_io.

My question now is - Can I disable require of direct_io in oVirt? If not in any option, maybe by little changes in source code?
Why would I do that and why I'm not afraid about I/O performance? Because I use MooseFS via NFS now and it works perfect, so that's why I think that Direct I/O is not necessary!

Hi everyone...

I have a little strange situation... I'm trying to add Posix Compliant FS Storage Domain based on MooseFS. As You can read below, oVirt is mounting it correctly but it cannot make a Storage Domain. Anybody could help?



// Quick investigation

Is /posix mounted?

    root@host008:/tmp mount |grep fuse
    root@host008:/tmp

Nope.
Add Storage Domain via Web Panel with parameters:

    Name: MooseFS
    Domain Function / Storage Type: Data / POSIX Compliant FS
    Use Host: HOST008
    Path: mfsmount
    VFS Type: fuse
    Mount Options: mfsmaster=mfsmaster,mfsport=9421,mfssubfolder=/posix,_netdev

Really? Incorrect mount options? Trying mount from hand... But first, check for mounts:

    root@host008:/tmp mount |grep fuse
    mfsmaster:9421 on /rhev/data-center/mnt/mfsmount type fuse.mfs (rw,allow_other)

Oh! It is already mounted! So oVirt mounted it correctly, but cannot use mountpoint? Hm, permissions?

    root@host008:/tmp ls -al /rhev/data-center/mnt/mfsmount/
    total 4
    drwxr-xr-x 2 vdsm kvm    0 Apr  1 14:57 .
    drwxr-xr-x 8 vdsm kvm 4096 Apr  2 08:43 ..

Looks fine... Ok, try to unmount and mount manually.

    root@host008:/tmp umount /rhev/data-center/mnt/mfsmount/
    root@host008:/tmp mount |grep fuse
    root@host008:/tmp mount -t fuse -o mfsmaster=mfsmaster,mfsport=9421,mfssubfolder=/posix,_netdev mfsmount /rhev/data-center/mnt/mfsmount
    mfsmaster accepted connection with parameters: read-write,restricted_ip ; root mapped to root:root
    root@host008:/tmp mount |grep fuse
    mfsmaster:9421 on /rhev/data-center/mnt/mfsmount type fuse.mfs (rw,allow_other)

Ok, but I'm root. Try to do it as vdsm user.
