Cloudstack and glusterfs native implementation

[Olivier Mauras <ol...@core-hosting.net>]

 

Hello,

Now that glusterfs 3.4 is officially out and that qemu and
libvirt support it, would that be possible to use glusterfs native
implementation as main storage??
Native implementation performances are
really better than using fuse or NFS mountpoint. It would be nice to be
able to this feature.

I haven't found anything so i guess the support
just doesn't exists yet, is that planned for next release? Is there some
workaround to enable it on current version?

Thanks,
Olivier

The feature could be added to the repository at essentially anytime. I
am not sure when the folks working on it will have it done.
I've cced Ilya - he's backported freshly developed features for
CloudStack to stable releases for his distribution, called CloudSand,
and perhaps he'd consider doing something similar for this feature.

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply. Sad that it couldn't be added to
4.2. 
Seeing that 4.1 got out in June and 4.2 is planned to end of this
month, is it safe to imagine having this feature by
September?

Thanks,
Olivier

Hi Olivier,

The folks from Appcore were also recently talking about this, and
after seeing the performance difference in libgfapi and FUSE I am
certainly interested in getting this integrated.
4.2 is already in feature freeze, and we are chronologically close to
releasing it, so it won't be in the next feature version, but could
certainly appear in the one that follows.
