Actually Gluster can switch from distributed to
replicated/distributed-replicated on the fly.

Thanks a lot for this feed back!
I've never had any practical experience with Ceph, MooseFS, BeeGFS or Lustre:
GlusterFS to me mostly had the charme of running on 1/2/3 nodes and then
anything beyond at a balanced benefits in terms of resilience vs.
performance... in theory, of course.
And on
Thank you very much for your story!
It has very much confirmed a few suspicions that have been gathering over the
last... O my God! Has it two years already?
1. Don't expect plug-and-play, unless you're on SAN or NFS (even HCI doesn't
seem to be in the heart of the oVirt team)
2. Don't expect
Yes, we manage a number of Distributed Storage systems including
MooseFS, Ceph, DRBD and of course Gluster (since 3.3). Each has a
specific use.
For small customer-specific VM host clusters, which is the majority of
what we do, Gluster is by far the safest and easiest to
deploy/understand

ceph through an iscsi gateway is very.. very.. slow.

Thanks for response.
Seems a bit too far into "bleeding edge" .. such that I should kick tires
virtually vs commuting plugins to oVirt +Gluster where upgrades and other
issues may happen. Seems like Alpha stage of (no thin provisioning, issues
with deleting volumes, no export / import ..
CEPH requires at least 4 nodes to be "good".
I know that Gluster is not the "favourite child" for most vendors, yet it is
still optimal for HCI.
You can check

for cinder integration.

These are all storage rich servers.
Drives:
USB 3 64GB Boot / OS
512GB SSD (Gluster HCI: volumes "engine", "data" , "vmstore" "iso" I added
last one to .. well to learn if I could extend with LVM ;)
1TB SSD: (VDO+Gluster Manual build due to brick and fqdn issues in oVirt, It

If you can’t go direct, how about round about, with an iSCSI gateway.
