Hi all,
So one of the issues that I *think* we all face is the inability to take snapshots on the host side when using LVM over iSCSI.
In my environment, I've added iSCSI LUNs through the interface, manually created a primary partition and an EXT4 filesystem on them, then mounted them through the fstab and added them as 'folder' storage in the ProxMox interface.
This gives me the ability to use qcow2 files and use the native snapshotting of ProxMox, which is a feature I'd like to continue to use.
In terms of best practises, are there any pitfalls of this method to using iSCSI in this way? Performance hits (other than the additional filesystem layer) or other unexpected issues?
