Ah I see, sorry I wasn't aware of that. Is there a particular reason in
using file based VMs ? since generally speaking the performance on raw
devices is much better and in DRBD9 you can leverage of thin lvm or zfs
based snapshots.

Hi Yannis, yes, I considered that.
However, as this would be a converged setup (ie: virtual machines run on
the same node exporting the storage), this would require a loopback NFS
mount. From what I know, this is (was?) discouraged due to possible
livelock on the NFS kernel process.


Thanks.
