A lot better. A couple of years ago I could see volumes on Linstor getting completely stuck and unrecoverable whenever the network was getting busy or unstable. Nodes reboot were a nightmare too. Have a setup now with their Piraeus operator[1], Kubernetes >= 1.20, rancher and calico, and it seems to be very stable. XFS have been giving better results too. Still, better not to try too many reboot loops on the nodes. 1: https://github.com/piraeusdatastore/piraeus-operator/

I'm a bit biased but Rook[0] or OpenEBS[1] are the best solutions that scale from hobbyist to enterprise IMO. A few reasons: - Rook is "just" managed Ceph[2], and Ceph is good enough for CERN[3]. But it does need raw disks (nothing saying these can't be loopback drives but there is a performance cost) - OpenEBS has a lot of choices (Jiva is the simplest and is Longhorn[4] underneath, cStor is based on uZFS, Mayastor is their new thing with lots of interesting features like NVMe-oF, there's localpv-zfs which might be nice for your projects that want ZFS, regular host provisioning as well. Another option which I rate slightly less is LINSTOR (via piraeus-operator or kube-linstor[6]). In my production environment I run Ceph -- it's almost certainly the best off the shelf option due to the features, support, and ecosystem around Ceph. I've do
