Im thinking about replacing my NAS with #Glusterfs. But I’m not sure about one usecase. My NAS serves NFS storage to a KVM host. On the NFS are qcow images. The performance isn’t great but perfectly acceptable for what I do. Would that still work with Glusterfs or would the constant sync of data in the background be too much? #askfedi#askmastodon
@vwbusguy Thanks for your feedback. I also noticed the conversation you started around glusterfs here on Mastodon. Looks like it's causing trouble sometimes. Not sure if I'd really like to use Ceph, since the setup seems to require a bit more involvement. How about ocfs2? Any experiences with that? Primarily I need a file storage. Only secondarily a qemu vm image storage.
@brejoc Nope. If you just need for file system storage, I would checkout DRBD with LINBIT. I think DRBD is also in EPEL. It's basically highly available NFS.
@jahanson We were a LINBIT customer at my last shop and they were great. Some of the best support experiences I've ever had. I'm not sure how many of the people I interacted with are still there, but they ran a really solid shop when I used it.
