Re: [Moosefs-users] KVM on MFS

[Richard C. <ric...@ai...>]

Hello MFS Devs,
   I am evaluating MooseFS for use in various aspects of our business, 
and one of them is in use as a storage mechanism for virtual machines.  
Specifically, we're using proxmox for virtualization in our environment, 
and we seem to be hitting a snag when using KVM containers -- the 
virtual machines won't start.  We currently believe that this may be 
because MFS (or FUSE, possibly) does not allow mmap'ing of files.
   I am wondering if anyone can shed some light on this type of 
situation (using MFS for storage of KVM virtual machines) and/or if 
anyone has any known or possibly unknown issues with mmap'ing files on MFS.

   Thanks,
   Richard.
