[pve-devel] sheepdog cache settings

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

(also for writeback, we need to start the gateway daemon with -w option)

For a pure sheep gateway, we only need it if storage daemons are external.


with sheep storage daemon, we can use them as gateway + storage.


But,I'm not sure, if a disc fail, we need to restart the sheep daemon, so it can break the communication (some seconds) between kvm guests and the sheep cluster.

Maybe the sheepdog mailing can give you more infos ?

Which leads me to the next question: Should we always start a gateway daemon, even 
when we run local sheeps? Or is that only necessary if we have no local sheep?
