Hi Joao.
I made a similar search recently. Here is my results:
Lustre - does not have redundancy, If you will use file striping between nodes and one nodes go offline all data are not available. Gluster - does not support KVM virtualization. Software developer lead mentioned that it will be fixed in next release (April). Shipping Dog - Working only with images does not allow to store plain files on it. one image can be connected to only one VM per a time. eXtremFS - does not have support. If something not working it is your problem even you ready to pay for fixing.

And my choice: MooseFS - redundant any node can go offline and data will be available, scalable, with striping, with CoW, Create copy of huge images in a second, has internal checksum correction, has commercial support, data deduplication (commercial version only) and many other features.

there are plugging for OpenNebula. It has some bugs but you can start from this point.

Regards,

Hello all,

We're looking into the possibility of using a distributed FS, like glusterfs or similar solution for the image repository

Can anyone share his experiences on this topic? any hints would be nice... Existing specific documentation? REcommendend configurations? Tested configurations? Things to watch out for? Things particular to open-nebula? Problems? Stability (is it maintainable without a general shutdown)? Effort/learning curve ("large", "small", hours, days, weeks)? Any other information?

Thanks any way, best regards,
João
