[sheepdog-users] runtime requirements?

[Andrew J. Hobbs]

While I haven't personally had to use them in this case (yet).  I'd try the iSCSI or NBD options for sheepdog.   I routinely run benchmarks when trying new combinations, if you do for both of these situations, I'd be very interested in your results.

I keep a linux image with a fully allocated disk to run benchmarks on with the below command.


dd if=/dev/zero of=/test.out bs=4k count=1000000 oflag=direct

Since I'm running Xen paravirtualized (for speed in all cases, and for 2 servers, because they don't have

being able to use Sheepdog in the past.

iSCSI solves the problem.  So would NFS.

Thanks!
