Also keep in mind that extensive logging in the vm's can seriously impact your fs performance, so using a central syslogserver is a really good idea. /tony On 2018-04-06 17:03, Karli Sjöberg wrote:

Yaniv,
I appreciate your input, thanks!
I understand that everyone's use case is different, but I was hoping to hear from some users that are using oVirt hyper-converged setup and get some input on the performance. When I research GlusterFS I hear a lot about how it can be slow especially when dealing with small files. I'm starting to wonder if a straight up NFS server with a few SSDs would be less hassle and perhaps offer better VM performance than glusterFS can currently.
I want to get the best oVirt performance I can get (on somewhat of a budget) with a fairly small amount of required disk space (under 2TB). I'm not sure if hyper-converged setup w/GlusterFS is the answer or not. I'd like to avoid spending 15k only to find out that it's too slow.
What is "too slow" for you, what are your expectations?
Much depending on that, you will find that different goals require different tools. Like hammering on a screw and all that :)
