Gluster Mounts with LibGFAPI
I am playing with GlusterFS on Kimchi (simple replication mount). Gluster has made a lot of improvements in the past year or so with the introduction of 'sharding' which dramatically speeds up the re-heal 'lock' time when you lose a brick. For now I am using the native mount (FUSE) and telling kimchi about it using the DIR type. that works fine and is I believe how oVirt supports Gluster. Then I plan on using the libgfapi mount which is supported by Libvirt directly. Has the Kimchi client ever looked into supporting either the fuse mount or libgfapi mount from the panel rather than hand doing it with virsh? -bill
Hi Bill, There are a feature request open on github to make Kimchi support GlusterFS pool. It is not in the next releases plans but of course, patches are more than welcome. If I am not mistaken the subjects, I think there is someone interested on doing that as well. I would need to check the github issues to confirm that.

OK, great. If you need some testing done, let me know. GlusterFS is really convenient and reliable in the small/medium HA cluster space that Kimchi works well with. -bill On 6/9/2017 8:33 AM, Aline Manera wrote:

Thanks! I keep you posted about any updated related to that. :-)
