Re: [Xen-API] Storage Repository FileSR on ZFS won't work - Linux

Hi Dawid,

For what concerns your build I do not know how it maps to storage
manager and blktap versions.
If in /opt/xensource/sm/blktap2.py there is a line like

CONF_KEY_O_DIRECT = "o_direct"

then you can disable o_direct.

About your frustration I can understand but it is a long shot
to say xenserver is in beta stage, given there are many huge
business running on top of it with almost no downtime, reliability
and speed.
Surely it is not bug free and surely it is not able to cope with
any kind of user scenario.
The same, though, is true for kvm and virtualbox (just to name the
ones you named).
Maybe your use case is much closer to virtualbox's.

The ML is here to help, as much as possible.
If not and other tools are more suitable for your needs,
that's fine :)

Cheers,
Germano
