pmxcfs and glusterfs comparision?

[empr]

Hi,

I have a running test installation of HA using GlusterFS for storage of images and ISO.
Are there any performance test of Proxmox with GlusterFS? Should pmxcfs be faster than GlusterFS?

Thanks

http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_Cluster_file_system_(pmxcfs) is not comparable to glusterFS.

user reports that gluster is not that fast for storing VM images, but test by your own and report your findings.

and test Ceph RBD.

I use glusterfs for VM storage backend on my Citrix XenServers. I'm using the GlusterFS NFS server (not kernel NFS server) and uCARP for IP failover.

Since I'm using NFS, replication happens server side, not client side. My speeds are comparable to my old iSCSI setup: http://majentis.com/2011/09/21/xenserver-iscsi-and-glusterfsnfs/
