<p>Hello</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have been using GlusterFS for about two years, We use Distributed Replicated volumes to hold files as NAS, Now I want to hold some VM images (KVM/Vmware). I am interested in Striped volume to improve IO performance.</p>
<p>But I found in admin guide, There are notes: <strong>"In this release, configuration of this volume type is supported only for Map Reduce workloads"
</strong>both for Distributed Striped Replicated and Striped Replicated volume. <br>
Dose this mean those two kind volumes can't use for VM and other application?</p>
<p>Which kind of volume is the best practise for hold VM.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks<br>
Young</p>
