IDE is just as slow. Just over 2 hours for 2008R2 install. Is this what you mean by kvm? lsmod | grep kvm kvm_intel 54285 3 kvm 332980 1 kvm_intel *Steve Dainard * IT Infrastructure Manager Miovision <http://miovision.com/> | *Rethink Traffic* 519-513-2407 ex.250 877-646-8476 (toll-free) *Blog <http://miovision.com/blog> | **LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/company/miovision-technologies> | Twitter <https://twitter.com/miovision> | Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/miovision>* ------------------------------ Miovision Technologies Inc. | 148 Manitou Drive, Suite 101, Kitchener, ON, Canada | N2C 1L3 This e-mail may contain information that is privileged or confidential.

I've reconfigured my setup (good succes below, but need clarity on gluster option):
Two nodes total, both running virt and glusterfs storage (2 node replica, quorum).
I've created an NFS storage domain, pointed at the first nodes IP address. I've launched a 2008 R2 SP1 install with a virtio-scsi disk, and the SCSI pass-through driver on the same node as the NFS domain is pointing at.
Windows guest install has been running for roughly 1.5 hours, still "Expanding Windows files (55%) ..."
[VR] Does it work faster with IDE? Do you have kvm enabled? Thanks, Vadim.

This is a 2 socket, 6 core xeon machine with 48GB of RAM, and 6x 7200rpm enterprise sata disks in RAID5 so I don't think we're hitting hardware limitations.

I've enabled nfs.trusted-sync (
http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.2:_Setting_Vo...) on the gluster volume, and the speed difference is immeasurable . Can anyone explain what this option does, and what the risks are with a 2 node gluster replica volume with quorum enabled?
Thanks,
