[Gluster-users] Update: Support for GLUSTERFS storage domain in VDSM & oVirt available now !

[Deepak C Shetty]

Quick Update:
     Ability to create GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN from oVirt web UI is now upstream.

http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/8834/
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/8983/
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/13176/


This provides the capability to create a new DC, cluster of type 
GLUSTERFS, ability to add new host to the GLUSTERFS DC/Cluster and 
create a new storage domain of type GLUSTERFS and run VMs off it.

The VMs created using GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN exploits the QEMU-GlusterFS 
native integration (QEMU's gluster block backend)
With this the complete oVirt virt-stack is now enabled for GLUSTERFS!

thanx,
deepak
