Your question is difficult to parse. Typically RAID and JBOD are mutually exclusive. By "flash-backed", do you mean a battery backup unit (BBU) on your RAID controller?

Hi, Trying to make the most of a limited budget. I need fast I/O for operations under 4MB, and high availability of VMs in an Ovirt cluster. I Have 3 nodes running Ovirt and want to rebuild them with hardware for converging storage. Should I use 2 960GB SSDs in RAID1 in each node, replica 3? Or can I get away with 1 larger SSD per node, JBOD, replica 3? Is a flash-backed Raid required for

...around <1TB. With a modern SSD, you'll get something like 40k theoretical IOPs for 4k I/O size. You don't mention budget. What is your budget? You mention "4MB operations", where is that requirement coming from?

...low performance. I'm about to build out a replica 3 setup and run Ovirt with a bunch of Windows VMs. Are the issues Tony is experiencing "normal" for Gluster? Does anyone here have a system with windows VMs and have good performance? *Vincent Royer* *778-825-1057* <http://www.epicenergy.ca/> *SUSTAINABLE MOBILE ENERGY SOLUTIONS* On Wed, May 2, 2018 at 7:52 AM Tony Hoyle <tony at hoyle.me.uk> wrote: > On 01/05/2018 02:27, Thing wrote: > > Hi, > > > > So is the KVM or Vmware as the host(s)?

...sed Cache when the disks are presented by the RAID card in JBOD. The Hardware vendor asked "Do you know if Gluster makes use of flash-cache in JBOD?" If it does, I'm not certain how the size of this flash cache affects the operation. *Vincent Royer* *778-825-1057* <http://www.epicenergy.ca/> *SUSTAINABLE MOBILE ENERGY SOLUTIONS* On Mon, Apr 9, 2018 at 10:34 AM, Alex Chekholko <alex at calicolabs.com> wrote: > Your question is difficult to parse.

...hat is required". But I don't want to waste money... I like the idea of forgoing the RAID cards as they are quite expensive, especially the capacitor backed ones. The onboard controller can handle JBOD just fine, if Gluster is OK with it! *Vincent Royer* *778-825-1057* <http://www.epicenergy.ca/> *SUSTAINABLE MOBILE ENERGY SOLUTIONS* On Mon, Apr 9, 2018 at 11:25 AM, Alex Crow <acrow at integrafin.co.uk> wrote: > On 09/04/18 19:02, Vincent Royer wrote: > > Thanks, > > I suppose what I'm trying to gain is some clarity on what choice is best > for a giv...

Thanks, I suppose what I'm trying to gain is some clarity on what choice is best for a given application. How do I know if it's better for me to use a raid card or not, to include flash-cache on it or not, to use ZFS or not, when combined with a small number of SSDs in Replica 3.
