Thanks! It is great news that all you need is O_DIRECT in fuse, and that
Vdsm's SHAREDFS interface works as it is for gluster.

Hello,
Got more questions on this, now that I am re-visiting this.
The last time i tried using SHAREDFS, i started from createStorageDomain
verb, and it works fine.
But now we have connectStorageServer verb... which i believe is the new
way of doing things ?
If i start from connectStorageServer verb to mount using SHAREDFS (
which goes via PosixFs... MountConnection flow), that won't help me
entirely here, right ?
Because it only mounts based on the dict sent, but does not do anything
with the image and metadata stuff ( which createStorageDomain flow did ).
I am wondering if its too early to start using connectStorageServer ? If
not, how can i re-write the above vdsm standalone example using
connectStorageServer instead of createStorageDomain flow ?
