Re: [one-users] TransportManager for SAN storage, VMs in clvm, templates in GFS2 volume

Hello, i already published the updated driver. now all images not uploaded by administrator to the GFS2 volume are stored inside lvm volumes (inside clvm) https://github.com/jhrcz/opennebula-tm-gfs2clvm/tree/v0.0.20120303.0 basic tests are already done, and everything seems to work fine ;o) it

Hi, Did you test performance of LVM snapshots ? LVM performance usually is OK, but with snapshots it could go 10x decrease if your storage doesn't have many IOS (disc spindles of SSD). Even with good IOS or SSD it goes down 2-3x down. For reference http://www.nikhef.nl/~dennisvd/lvmcrap.html

This is very interesting work. Jan, do you have any write-up on how you were able to set up the gfs and clvm setup to work with this driver? It's a use case very similar to what we are considering for FermiCloud. Two other questions that weren't immediately obvious from looking at the code:

Hello Opennebullians, i'm currently working on setup, where VMs are running from clvm volumes (for maximum performance) and traditional file data like state files, contextualisation files, etc are stored in GFS2 filesystem on top of the same clvm. OpenNebula management node is connected with
