        Hi all,

        I noticed rhel 6.5 was released and now most centos mirrors have
        been
        updated:

        http://lists.centos.org/__pipermail/centos-announce/__2013-December/020032.html

        <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2013-December/020032.html>

        It appears to have a new version of

        qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6.__x86_64.rpm

        Is it now possible to switch from POSIX to native glusterfs? If
        so, how
        would one do that, I assume it requires some sort of database hack.

        Thanks,
        Andrew

    its a code change in vdsm, not an engine config.
    there is still a gap around libvirt support for snapshots with
    libgfapi which is why this isn't enabled yet.


Oh, I was thinking along the lines of "Datacenter Type: Gluster" but I
haven't been able to progress further with the limited hardware as the
engine won't allow the modification.

no simple way to change these, true.

I'm not so much interested in snapshots, I'm just keen to test out the
better disk speeds

engine expect snapshots to work, so libgfapi was disabled when this issue was found, pending the libvirt fix.
