Hello,
I was asked the other day what file system oVirt uses to store virtual machine images and
how it differed from VMware VMFS. I had to admit that I didn't quite understand this
aspect of oVirt. I've had a look around but haven't found an answer. I was
wondering if someone could explain at a high level, how the underlying oVirt VM storage
domain differs from VMFS? What file system is used? Does it use a file system at all?
oVirt supports three types of storage
file-based where there are ordinary files on a posix filesystem, NFS, etc..
block storage domains are using LVM volumes for disks, there's no filesystem, VM disks
are LVs.
managed domains - storage operations are offloaded to Cinderlib with Ceph backend.
Thanks,
