Hi Jeff, thanks for that detailed explanation, I'm on the KVM by the way... For the *volume* snaphost, I can see that real snapshot exist localy (I say real snaphost, not clone), but also the clone is created on 1 of those NFS servers...
Can you somehow instruct me to check if new template I have just created, is actualy copied on all 3 NFS hosts (all3 NFS are online, and working fine) ? Template is only 4GB of real size on the host, and it should be very quickly copied to where it shoyld be. (my IO and netowrk traffic are pretty low in general). Should the templates files be created on all 3 NFS storages, with the same file name? Or can I see this somehow from the database...I'm trying to decode it by myself, but can't figure this out...
