I don’t see GlusterFS support anymore in Docs. Is this removed? If yes, why ?

Here [image] Missing GlusterFS in the datastore? Community Support The native access through libvirt is still supported but not recommended, the preferred way is to access gluster through the shared/qcow2 drivers. As I said the code is still there and functional if you …

That’s a shame. Forcing users to use fuse mounts and not native libgfsapi is bad, as fuse is much slower than direct access. Additionally, forcing users to move from Gluster to Ceph is also bad, as Ceph is much more expansive to use (at least 3 mons, at least 3 OSD, … 6 servers as minimum suggested…

As stated in the thread, the code is there and won’t be removed (it is not mentioned in the docs, and interface) you can still use GlusterFS as always. (or in its shared filesystem form).

Ok, but having to use an undocumented code in production doesn’t make me feel any better. The code is there, but seems to be unmaintaned and not supported (as there isn’t any docs about this) I’m really unsure if starting a new OpenNebula infrastructure or looking at something else with Gluster su…

So, there is no way to get Gluster support back in future releases? I would like to run a VM by using libgfapi and qcow2 and not the fuse mount that is very slow. Is this supported? Which are the missing feature? maybe someone could develop

It all still works. I currently have a production setup running with a GlusterFS backend with the KVM VMs running via libgfapi and qcow2 on CentOS 7. Does it make me feel good it’s not “recommended”? no, but the ball went rolling on this setup before they stripped it’s officially supported stat…

I feel exactly the same. GlusterFS is officially supported as wrote on the OFFICIAL reference guide but the Gluster support was totally removed by Opennebula docs and I don’t know why. Which kind of support was lacking ? Maybe someone could fix the issues and put the support back, but I don’t see …

I would rather they not strip the code that works perfectly well because you have a problem with the documentation or the whole “all or nothing” kind of stance. I believe the official reason was not a lot of people reported the use it in a poll (which i did not participate in so …ya know I can’t co…
