My images are, indeed, on the volume. I saw that image-based performance
wasn't sufficient so I found a better way. That's my point. Not everyone
is restricted from being able to take advantage of a better way. So yes,
I mount a GlusterFS volume within a VM whose image resides on a
GlusterFS volume.
By the way, you see "9 of 10 people" reporting poor performance in part
because the people that don't have poor performance don't complain about
it. Your metric is skewed.
I recognize you're upset because your expectations are not being met.
You're not alone. I'm not alone either. I see about a dozen new users
each day that are excited that this software solves a problem for them.
Maybe you should consider posting your use case and seeing if anyone has
any suggestions on how you could satisfy that rather than trying to tell
Vijay that he's doing it wrong.

Joe,
9 of 10 people I have seen here reported very poor performance when running
VMs. Obviously they run, but al the performance tests gave results that no one
would expect to get. So yes it works for low profile virtual server, like quite
web servers, etc, but not in general. Any peak you need it can't accomplish and
it does need improvements on Gluster code.
You can't add it to oVirt and tell people, "Look, it's there but it's only for lwo
profile servers that don't require any significant performance". People don't
wouldn't even consider that.
Also you seem to eb mounting Gluster inside the VM which is not the case here.
On oVirt that would be for hosting the VM's images.

Fernando

It's only "far from good" for certain use cases, not all. I'm actually quite
pleased that GlusterFS emphasizes C& P over A and none of my users complain ( I use raw
images for 14 kvm vms on one of my GlusterFS volumes ). Those VMs mount GlusterFS volumes for
their application data.
Very little is done on the raw image.
Not everybody that uses virtualization is going to be marketing those VMs to
3rd parties that expect it to pretend to be an isolated system.

Vijay, how are you planning to integrate Gluster with oVirt (a fantastic idea
in my opinion) if the performance when running .qcow2 or even .raw files is far
from good at the moment ?
