I'm revisiting Gluster for the purpose of hosting Virtual Machine images (KVM). I was considering the following configuration
2 Nodes- 2 * 1GB Eth, LACP Bonded
- Bricks hosted on ZFS- VM Images accessed via Block driver (gfapi)
ZFS Config:
Does that seem like an sane layout?
Question: With the gfapi driver, does the vm image appear as a file on the host (zfs) file system?
Background: I currently have our VM's hosted on Ceph using a similar config as above, minus zfs. I've found that the performance for such a small setup is terrible, the maintenance headache is high and when a drive drops out, the performance gets *really* bad. Last time I checked, gluster was much slower at healing large files than ceph, I'm hoping that has improved :)
