Here's my thought on 💭 Performance Difference between RWX and RWO volumes · longhorn/...
Interesting longhorn storage performance test, author does highlight right away that this is a simulation and not a REAL test. I did not fully understand the storage semantics before reading through this.
- RWO - Always presents a filesystem
ext4orxfs - RWX/ROX - Always presents a network share
nfsto the pod.
This is an important distinction for applications that use sqlite or a tool on top of sqlite such as diskcache. With sqlite it is not recomended to run over nfs due to missing required file locking mechanisms.
Longhorn storage still provides a lot of benefits to these applications as the storage is automatically replicated, if the node that your application is running on goes offline a new pod will start on an existing node. If you have planned downtime, you can cordon and drain a node. Since the data is available in another location you will be able to start a new pod on anther node. barring your PodDisruptionBudget settings, taints, and affinity, this may happen automatically.
