[Gluster-users] GlusterFS Virtual Storage for Red Hat Virtualization
Red Hat's enterprise virtualization management is built on ovirt (ovirt.org) libvirt (libvirt.org) and default kvm (linux-kvm). It is in beta stage, but usable. We have integrated GlusterFS into this project. It is fairly easy to install. Give it a try and let us know your feedback at dl-ovirt(at)gluster.com. http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/GlusterFS_oVirt_Setup_Guide GlusterFS RPMs in this repository has fixes for poor mmap write performance. It uses fuse-2.8 big-writes ability. Next 2.0.3 release of GlusterFS scheduled for this week will have this improvement included by default. We will include a series of improvements towards virtual machine implementations in the upcoming releases of GlusterFS (such as background healing, incremental block level healing of large files, persistent open across system-reboots). Your feedback is crucial. Happy Hacking, -- Anand Babu Periasamy GPG Key ID: 0x62E15A31 Blog [http://unlocksmith.org] GlusterFS [http://www.gluster.org] GNU/Linux [http://www.gnu.org]
