Can you enable virt-profile setting for your volume and see if
that helps? You need to enable this optimization when you create
the volume using ovrit, or use the following command for an
existing volume:<br>
<tt><br>
#gluster volume set <volname> group virt</tt><br>

NFS & Gluster are using the same interface. Tests were not

This would suggest my problem isn't glusterfs, but the VM
performance.<br>

Can you share the xml of this vm? You can find it in vdsm
log, <br>
at the time you start the vm. <br>
<br>
Or you can do (on the host): <br>
<br>
# virsh <br>
virsh # list <br>
(username: vdsm@ovirt password: shibboleth) <br>
virsh # dumpxml vm-id <br>
