I burned the node image yesterday 4.2.5.1 July 31. I've been
playing with
Ovirt install for the past week and burned node iso a few times and this
image is the first time I've ever seen vdo options in gdeploy.
How do I make sure I have the most recent version of gdeploy, is node
behind?
Also can anyone chime in about vdo, is it recommended for use now? What
is its main benefit, does it offer performance boost or more for saving
disk space?
VDO provides dedupe/compression at the block layer. More at
It provides space savings, but there's a performance drop depending on the
workloads you run. It's better to turn on VDO if you're using SSD devices
as the performance decrease is less noticeable. But please run your own
benchmark tests to decide.
The vdo kernel module has been available since CentOS 7.5
