[ovirt-users] How much improvement has been made with GlusterFS handling small files?

[Jayme]

I'm very strongly leaning toward an oVirt hyperconverged setup.  I plan on
using fairly robust hardware (ssds, lots of ram, 10gb network) as per the
guides, however I am worried about one thing which is glusterFS performance
in regards to its handling of many small files.  I've read various forum
posts and other tidbits of info on this subject I've come across in my
research but in many cases the information is from several years ago and
I'm not sure how relevant it is today.

The amount of VMs won't be high and most servers I'll be running will be
fairly light weight Linux servers, however a handful of them will be used
to deal with some decent sized github repos so at times there could be
interaction with directories that have a lot of small files (including
rsyncing those directories for off-site backups as well).  Is oVirt
hyperconverged still a viable solution in such a case or should I be
considering other VM storage options instead?

Thanks!
