I just finished home lab setup with Apache + Centos + WebDAV
On 1 machine
that is connected to 2 other glusterfs peers working in replication mode.

It felt good when everything worked as expected. and I can connect via WinSCP, and it recognizes passwords for users created by Bcrypt which I reckon uses Blowfish and over HTTPS which makes it very secure.

umm.. its lame abit that each folder/share you will need to define in it apache webdav.conf, but if you want to implement something manually that is the price you pay.

Other than that it is all good, you can create personal shares like HR , and other Public ones. And replication does occur by the underlying glusterfs.

When would you NOT want to thin provision?

And are you saying if it is over 2TB you cannot thin provision?

That's the issue, thin provisioning is limited currently to 2TB or smaller volumes (VHDs.)

Wait, is it 2 TB volumes as in ext3 partitions or is it 2 TV VHDs?

VHDs.

That was another thing people are always clamoring about with XS ... the lack of VHDX.

Which I think is ridiculous that it's not in 7. VHDX is over 4 years old. Even worse, QCOW2 is something like 10 (or more) years old, and has almost a 9 EB limit.

The limitation on the partitions sizes is because of the use of snapshot functionality. Imagine having a 9EB array and partition, and then trying to perform a snapshot on it.

VHDX has the same limit (or similar). No one would really have an image that size, but it would be compatible with every other system. And snapshots wouldn't take any longer. It creates a new file and writes to it and reads from the old one.

@scottalanmiller Ah, yes. That would be a more efficient way of doing it. I was too excited from finally gaining some understanding of mount point concepts, I didn't think though the best way to move the data. 🙂
