Hello to all, I''m in a position where I need somewhat flexible VBDs from a san and due to circumstances just can''t use LVM / CLVM. The options available to me are only loops or physical disk. To compound things, I need to access this storage via AoE and its shared, figured on using ocfs2. All of the nas traffic including aoe will be on a private gig-e network. To be able to re-size dom-u space as needed I''m going to have to use loops, approximately 10 - 12 per xen node connected to the nas. Has anyone else done that with this kind of configuration : [ nas / sata ] <-> [ ocfs2 partition served with aoe ] <-> [ loop devices ] <-> [ gig-e ] <-> [ dom-0 ] <-> dom-us I''d create the loops on a large nas partition that uses ocfs2, loops themselves would be ext3 and ext2, some also ocfs2. I don''t expect any more than average light use web server i/o .. am I headed toward a bottleneck? I know many of you would still recommend clvm , due to other issues its just not an option.
