Hello guys,
We have several hosts with directory type storage. Anyone tried to change it from directory to NFS? My idea is to start the NFS server on the node, configure the same directory to exports file and change the storage type from the GUI. (and by change I mean remove the existing and create one with the new type).
We tried the directory type storage in order to avoid the cluster locks with NFS storage but it makes the cross-node cloning a bit harder than it should be (clone on the same node and them migrate).
So anyone tried this? Any ideas are welcome.
Thank you.
