Hi Nathan,
We have been running GlusterFS 3.4 with RHEV in production for about six =
months now. We were waiting for libgfapi support to show up for long =
time but finally we had to give up waiting and start using fuse mounts. =
Everything has been good so far and we haven't seen any big issues with =
GlusterFS. We even had hardware problems on one of the storage nodes but =
RHEV and GlusterFS survived through that without problems.
Our setup is rather small and it has only 4 compute nodes and 2 storage =
nodes. Of course we expect it to grow but biggest issue for us is that =
we are bit uncertain how many VM's we can run on it without affecting =
too much performance.
We are also looking at possibility of creating 3-6 node clusters where =
each node is acting as compute and storage node as well. Hopefully we =
will have test setup running in about week.
What kind of issues you have had with GlusterFS?

I know, why not just use Gluster... the problem is I have tried to use
Gluster for VM storage for years and I still don't think it is ready.
Ceph still has work in other areas, but this is one area where I think
it shines. This is a new lab cluster and I would like to try to use =
ceph
over gluster if possible.

Unless I am missing something, can anyone tell me they are happy with
Gluster as a backend image store? This will be a small 16 node 10 gig
cluster of shared compute / storage (yes I know people want to keep =
them
separate).
