[ovirt-users] NAS for oVirt

[rightkicktech.gmail.com]

Hi Mikhail,

Thank you for your suggestion.
Have you had any performance issues with freenas? It has been mentioned on some blogs that freenas might have performance issues. Not sure why.
A clean Centos with NFS sounds ok also. What do you do if you need snapshots of data? Lvm snapshots?
