oVirt gerrit 68822 0 master ABANDONED storage: treat local NFS storage as localfs 2021-01-22 16:42:27 UTC

Description Pavel Gashev 2016-12-20 13:10:20 UTC
Most servers have a local storage. Some servers have very reliable storages with hardware RAID controllers and battery units. The best way to use such storages in multi server datacenters is exporting it over NFS.

Treating a local NFS storage as a local storage improves performance for local VMs by removing NFS server/client layers.

Currently setting up of NFS exports is out of scope of oVirt. However this would be a way to get rid of "Local/Shared" storage types of datacenter. So all storages are shared, but local storages are used as local.

I can't find that gerrit ID still.

This is more of a feature than a bug, and I'd be happy to see a feature page for it on ovirt.org, or at least some discussion around it on the devel mailing list. 

Specifically, if you are mounting it locally, why do you need NFS? 
Or is it a case where host A is sharing an NFS mount point with all hosts, so while host B will use that same export over NFS, host A could benefit from local storage access to the same mount point?

I've open a discussion on the devel mailing list.

Shortly, the solution provides ability to use a local storage with no drawbacks in a shared storage multi server datacenter.

I would consider this as an enhancement. The patch would work in 3.6/4.0. A feature of 4.1 would be to get rid of storage types of datacenters. It would require this enhancement.

The documentation text flag should only be set after 'doc text' field is provided. Please provide the documentation text and set the flag to '?' again.

commenting that I may have a customer who is interested in this feature.

Comment 11 Michal Skrivanek 2020-06-23 12:34:56 UTC
This request is not currently committed to 4.4.z, moving it to 4.5

Comment 13 RHEL Program Management 2020-10-22 10:17:14 UTC
This request has been proposed for two releases. This is invalid flag usage. The ovirt-future release flag has been cleared. If you wish to change the release flag, you must clear one release flag and then set the other release flag to ?.

Comment 14 Michal Skrivanek 2021-08-18 11:33:34 UTC
This bug has not been prioritized or updated for a long time and therefore deemed stale. Closing for now, please feel free to update and reopen, but kindly provide justification or development plan how/when to address this bug
