Hey Jayme,

thanks for replying; sorry for the delay.
If I am understanding this right, there is no real official way to enable libgfapi. If you somehow manage to get it running then you will lose HA capabilities, which is something we like on our production servers.

The most recent post I could find on the matter (https://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg59664.html) read like its worth a try for hobyyists, but for production servers I do am a little bit scared.

Do you maybe have any document or other source that does work with 4.3.x versions and inspires confidence? :-)

I strongly believe that FUSE mount is the real reason for poor performance in HCI and these minor gluster and other tweaks won't satisfy most seeking i/o performance. Enabling libgfapi is probably the best option. Redhat has recently closed bug reports related to libgfapi citing won't fix and one comment suggests that libgfapi was not showing good enough performance to bother with which appears to contradict what many oVirt users are seeing. It's confusing to me why libgfapi as a default option is not being given any priority.
