Re: [ovirt-users] Storage types in oVirt

Hi Nir, I wouldn't say that the performance coming from LVM is significantly better than from a filesystem if the last is well built. In VMware the performance from a VMDK running on the top of VMFS5 and from a RDM has no significant gain one over another. I've always preferred to have

Re: [ovirt-users] Storage types in oVirt

Hi Nir, Thanks for clarification. Answering your questions: The intent was to use a Posix like filesystem similar to VMFS5 (GFS2, OCFS2, or other) where you have no choice for how the block storage is presented to multiple servers. Yes I heard about GFS2 escalation issues in the past, but

[ovirt-users] Storage types in oVirt

Hi there, I see that supported storage types in oVirt are: iSCSI, FCoE NFS, Local and Gluster. Specifically speaking about iSCSI and FCoE I see they use LVM on the block storage level to store the Virtual Machines. I just wanted to understand why the choice was to have LVM and if that is
