Functionalities of GlusterFS (vs VMFS)
Hello, Maybe I'm border-line with oVirt but I think it is a critical part of a virtual infrastructure, so... I understand that GlusterFS is a good storage solution for oVirt VM but I have a couple of questions : - does GlusterFS support FibreChannel (in order to have equivalents to the SAN Datastores of the VMware world) ? - is GlusterFS performant enough to support a lot of VM with a lot of nodes (entreprise infrastructure) ? - has GlusterFS some limitations or constraints ? - can GlusterFS be used (out of oVirt) for high I/O needs ? Thank you. David.
Hello, Well, I did not have success with my questions ;-) May be you have considered they were too far from oVirt... For the first one, after further research, I've found that it is OK (GlusterFS over FC [SAN mode])... But, about performance, I can't find useful results... Do you have links about GlusterFS vs other FS (VMFS, GPFS, etc...) ? Thank you. David. Le Mon, 25 Aug 2014 16:41:38 +0200, David BERCOT <ovirt@bercot.org> a écrit :

Some quick searching reveals this for performance: https://indico.cern.ch/event/214784/session/6/contribution/332/material/slid... there also was a performance comparison done by some ceph people between ceph and gluster on their blog, you should easily find it.

Thank you for these links... I will read the documents... David. P.S. : if you have experience with GlusterFS, with or without oVirt, that interests me too and feel free to contact me directly...
