sheepdog distributed storage system for KVM/QEMU

[klabauter]

Hi,
hast someone tried Sheepdog so far?

It sounds very interesting, it would be nice if it were usable with Proxmox.

What are your opinion about that?

We want to integrate that as soon as possible.

I've just seen that even Ceph, another distributed and parallel filesystem, already in upstram Linux kernel is also available for KVM !

It is included in linux kernel since 2.6.34 but it is still experimental file system.

Please note, however, that Ceph is still experimental and is not yet ready for use in a production environment.
