Hi, I usually deploy systems using FreeBSD or FreeNAS containing one or more Bhyve (Ubuntu) VMs that shares a PostgreSql db running inside a Jail and a directory containing an ever growing number of files (medical images), that directory is stored in a ZFS dataset and shared through NFS.
I mount the images dataset via NFS because the other way is creating a big ZVOL and mounting it on one VM, but this has many disadvantages, for example having to create a huge file (the zvol) in advance, cannot easily access its files from the host, and some more.
I've been reading about VirtFS and wonder if it would allow accessing files from the host faster than using NFS. Am I right?, is it production ready?, any documentation about implementing it?.
