Re: glustefs as vmware datastore in production

You're better off exporting LUNs via iSCSI. I spent a long time trying to get NFS to work via NFS-Ganesha as a datastore and the performance is not there, especially since HA NFS isn't an official feature of NFS-Ganesha.

Also keep in mind your write speed is cut in half/thirds/etc... with gluster as a VM datastore if you use replication since all writes are multiplied.

I had similar problems in the early days of running my gluster volume,
then I switched the gluster mounts from fuse to libgfapi and haven't had
a problem since, even when running the volume harder than I had been
previously.

But, then, I'm running kvm/qemu virtualization rather than vmware and I
don't know whether vmware supports libgfapi or not.  (I noticed that it
wasn't on the list of options you mentioned for how to access the
volume.)
