If you've already tried nfs and not satisfied with its performance, then you shoud try iscsi. Each domU storage exported as a block device, imported on dom0 ,and use /dev/disk/by-path/* in domU config. It should give simple-enough (e.g. no cluster fs required) setup, decent performance, and it's still possible to control disk I/O priority and bandwitdh. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
