Comment on Shared storage between virtual instances
hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 4 weeks agoJust be warned that those two are relatively complicated pieces of tech. And they're meant to set up a distributed storage network including things like replication and load-balancing. Clusters with failover to a different datacenter and such. If you just want access to the same storage on one server from different instances, that's likely way to complicated for you.

Moot point. I do not really need the distributed storage part for my scenario. Not right now.
Maybe I start with NFS and explore gluster as soon as storage distribution is needed. Looks like it could be a drop-in eplacement for NFSv3. Since it doesn’t access the block devices directly, I still could use the respective fs’ tool set (I.e. ext4 or btrfs) for maintenance tasks.
