Testing ZFS with XCP-ng
-
I'll try to run some tests on my side.

@borzel I'm not very familiar with github wikis, but I think you can do pull requests against the wiki.

@stormi wiki issue is allready solved
-
@borzel good catch, it's another O_DIRECT issue.
-
@borzel I am struggling to match the error lines in your log with a source code, can you tell me what version of vhd-tool you have installed please ? (
yum info vhd-tool
) -
# yum info vhd-tool Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Installed Packages Name : vhd-tool Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.20.0 Release : 4.2.xcp.el7.centos.extras Size : 40 M Repo : installed From repo : xcp-ng-extras Summary : Command-line tools for manipulating and : streaming .vhd format files URL : https://github.com/xapi-project/vhd-tool License : LGPL+linking exception Description : Simple command-line tools for manipulating an : streaming .vhd format file.

Thanks,
I have found a suspected O_DIRECT here, the solution won't come quickly. -
Does this issue also have a role if you run glusterfs on top of zfs?
Or is it just directly on zfs.Because i would want to runs glusterfs on top of zfs on a spearate server, and use glusterfs driver to connect to it.
Do i also have this issue then?

@nraynaud I just tested with an up-to-date XCP-ng 7.5 host, same failure

Hello everybody! Newbie here, just 24h of xcp use, I was trying set Raid 10, but xcp only support Raid 1, so I'm trying now to set raidz, like on the document, I'm using 4 disks (500gb each), but I want to do Raid on this 4 disks (sda,sdb,sdc,sdd), so I can't? Need to be 6 disks? 2 raid 1 with xcp, and 4 raidz for other things?

Hi,
There is 2 different things:
- soft RAID 1 support during install, using
mdadm
(the standard Linux software RAID mechanism) - ZFS support for storage repositories (where you store your VM disks)
Regarding your use case, it depends. You can choose to install XCP-ng system without RAID and use only one disk, and the rest for ZFS SR. Or RAID1 for XCP-ng system, and the left disks for ZFS.

@olivierlambert
Just to solve a doubt.... there is no way to install xcp-ng on software RAID 10, right? -
