Distributed storages usually suffer from a large overhead because: 1. They try to be resilient to node failure, which means keeping two or more copies of the same file, which results in I/O overhead. 2. They need to coordinate metadata access for large amounts of files. Bottlenecks in the metadata management system are a common issue for distributes FS storages. Since most of our data is ephemeral anyway I don't think we need to pay this overhead. -- Barak Korren bkor...@redhat.com RHEV-CI Team _______________________________________________ Infra mailing list Infra@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/infra
