oVirt Hosted Engine and gluster mount -> native nfs?
Hi, I'm having many issues with the inbuilt gluster nfs server (crashing and disconnecting). I was wondering, if anyone's tried exporting the gluster mount through glusterfs and then running a NFS server locally? eg. storage servers (gluster) -> hypervisor (gluster client -> export nfs of gluster client) Does this pose any issues with sanlock if there are then multiple nfs servers? I've been simply mounting the nfs servers as localhost:/hosted-engine as it means another host can die without effecting the nfs connection. My only concern would be regarding sanlock/nfslock as there'd be multiple NFS servers. Thoughts? Thanks, Andrew

I haven't tried this, but I'm testing gluster nfs w/ ctdb & a virtual IP and that seems to be working so far... Jason

Some reason my gluster nfs servers were notorious for crashing and virtual IPs with keepalived kept interfering with the interfaces in oVirt which made it a pain to modify networks within the UI. I went a head and tried this anyway, and it appears to be holding up a lot better than the gluster nfs server. So far so good!
