Andrei, You could try pNFS. It allows to access a data on a local storage directly bypassing NFS and even FS level. Unfortunately, it requires SCSI Persistent Reservation feature so would not work all RAID controllers.

Q: What is VM disk speed penalty (approx %) NFS vs Local RAID in oVirt data center storage? Currently I have 2 VMs running our accounting/inventory control system which are critical to storage performance limits. 2 other VMs have very low disk activity. I don't know, but please remember there's both latency and throughput, both of which are somewhat affected. Throughput will benefit from jumbo frames, for example. Unfortunately it may affect latency a bit. There was an interesting patch that if the NFS was local, bypassed the NFS[1]. It was never completed and merged. Lastly, chapter 6 at hyper-converged guide (should be available in few hours) might be an interesting idea for you to consider - a single Gluster that can later expand. Y.
