> I am wondering if there is anyone on list that is successfully serving > virtual machine images (Xen, KVM, VMWare, etc.) over GlusterFS. I am I using it with Xen and vserver. With Xen and large disk images it works. Live migration and failover works. Healing is a major problem. It blocks the image for sometime so you have downtime anyway. I have to write a heartbeat ressource to manage the healing before restart the VM. Linux Vserver works to but there are performance issues im working on. It is no problem to "dd" a file to gluster with reasonable speed but in "realtime" vserver is much faster on drbd then on gluster. Maybe I hit a "lot of small files" Problem here or there is a problem with vservers COW mechanism. I use 1.3.12 only. Matthias
