It looks like V2 data engine is potentially around the corner but I’m not sure about timelines on that. How much more performant is V2 suppose to be?

03/12/2025, 8:46 AMFWIW, we moved from ovirt to harvester. It's not running on like for like tin so a direct comparison is hard but we haven't had any disk IO issues. We use replica 1 for workloads which distribute the storage themselves (DBs etc). Although there is an issue with using replica 1 storage and 0 downtime harvester upgrades. https://github.com/harvester/harvester/issues/6145
