You can use a distributed replicated volume of type 'replica 3 arbiter 1'.
For example, NodeA and NodeB are contain replica set 1 with NodeC as their arbiter and
NodeD and NodeE as the second replica set 2 with NodeC as thir arbiter also.
In such case you got only 2 copies of a single shard, but you are fully
"supported" from gluster perspective.
Also, all hosts can have an external storage like your NAS.
