Not much difference that I've noticed on the small system I run, in fact cepfs seems to do some caching which speeds up things considerably in benchmarks. Not a huge difference in actual app performance that I've noticed. Delete/Restore of snapshots is a lot quicker with qcow2 and for somereasons saving memory state is orders of magnitude quicker with qcow2. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
