I am doing my tests for some days ...

The wiki omits some things, I've trying to register and edit it ...

Anything you mount on /var/lib/sheepdog/discx   will be recognized and
showed in web gui after the setup is finished .

You can have multiple devices, one as disc0, another as disc1 and so on .

It can be a single disk or a RAID 0/1/10/50  or whatever you want .

And MUST have the extended attribute option in  /etc/fstab set .

You have to create the file "startup" in every device you mount, and start
the daemon after the creation of this file .

After that, start the daemon, format the cluster, add the appropriate
content to file /etc/pve/storage.cfg like the example in the wiki, and you
will be ready to go !

The performance are completely dependant on what you mount .

I do not know much about stability, my tests has just began, but it works
great !
