Linstor

The current status is experimental, use at your own risk. Don't put there any data you don't want to lose.

Linstor is currently the fastest distributed block storage in the cluster, and can be used for tasks requiring minimal latency, such as VM images, docker build space, databases, etc. It uses the DRBD kernel module that handles the replication, and provides nearly native drive performance for I/O operations.

Please use the nautilus.io/linstor nodeAffinity label to use the nodes where linstor is deployed. It's temporary disabled on most nodes in the cluster.
