Storage of VMs: iSCSI vs NFS

[nasenmann72]

Hi,

I 've read this comparison of storage protocols performance by vmware (http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/storage_protocol_perf.pdf) which says that there's no performance gain if using iSCSI instaed of NFS for storing VM images. Can anyone explain me if there are any advantages of using iSCSI? Using NFS on Proxmox seems to me more easy to use...

You can't make snapshots on NFS (unfortunately).
