QCOW2 vs LVM Thin on Gluster?

YakoozaYakooza Member
edited May 2021 in General

I am setting up a shared storage with some nodes to have VM's on them. I was wondering which one to go?
I know QCOW2 may have lower performance but has more features. What is your experience?

p.s. I will be running QEMU/KVM

Thanks

    In my opinion to host more VM's and more stable performance I would go with LVM, but that's my opinion.

    LVM is for performance, qcow2 is for features. Do you need snapshots, ram snapshots? Go with qcow. Otherwise, LVM

    Is there a big difference on performance?
