It was this near endless range of possibilities via permutation of the parts that originally attracted me to oVirt. Being clearly a member of the original Lego generation I imagined how you could simply add blocks of this and that to rebuild to something new fantastic..., limitless gluster scal

Sadly, it's always 'It depends'.You definitely have to test with your workload. One setup I see -> create a small replica volume for the OS of the VMs and a second one (disperse volume) for the data disks. Then, test and consider if it's enough for you. Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov On Tue, F
