K3S arm64 distributed files systems

I deployed a K3S Cluster on arm64 and I need to have a DFS directly on-premise, It will be better to have it running on the kubernetes stack. Regarding DFS choices there are some options, but...:

GlusterFS: Unfortunately CSI drivers is not currently supported on arm64.

CephFS: Unfortunately CSI drivers is not currently supported on arm64.

Longhorn: Only on armf.

OpenEBS: Dunno, did not test yet.

Rook(Ceph): CSI drivers not supported on arm64.

I tried to rebuild Docker image and binaries inside to be compatible on arm64 for Gluster and Ceph, but the point to failure seems to be the driver of course.

PS: in-tree drivers are being deprecated.

Do you have advices, solutions and documentations concerning my needs to have a DFS on k8s,k3s arm64 cluster?

Thank you have a good day.

Solution 1:

There’s work in progress to build OpenEBS’ JIVA storage engine on ARM64 arch: https://github.com/openebs/openebs/issues/1295

Solution 2:

OpenEBS works on arm64 but it's very slow.
I've been having good results with https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner connected to nfs-ganesha that you can setup in active-active manner backed by glusterFS (https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator-Guide/NFS-Ganesha-GlusterFS-Integration/).

Thanks,
