Sheepdog storage tiering

[cyber035]

Hi, Im using pve-sheepdog for testing out a concept, but Im unable to find how to do storage tiering with sheepdog - how can I separate SSD and HDD storage pool if I have them both on each server?

Hi,

AFIK this is not possible with sheepdog.

ok thanks, also one more question...
How come when i look at the usage of the sheepdog storage from GUI (Storage View - Datacenter - Server - Sheepdog storage - Summary - Status) It shows that sheepdog vdi is thick provisioned and uses all the space for created VDI, is sheepdog supposed to be thin provision since it writes block files?

How does you create the volume?
I mean was this a new one or do you create it with a restore job?

This was a new one, created with Proxmox gui when VM was created.
Sheepdog dog vdi list, shows correct vdi size and usage, but proxmox presents it like a thick provision with full disk size as usage.

I can't see the problem here on my test cluster.
