There are two ways in which GlusterFS can be used as a storage domain:
a) Use gluster native/fuse access with POSIXFS
b) Use the gluster native storage domain to bypass fuse (with
libgfapi). We are currently addressing an issue in libvirt
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1017289) to enable
snapshot support with libgfapi. Once this is addressed, we will have
libgfapi support in the native storage domain.
It won't be as immediate, since there's a required fix on Vdsm's side
(Bug 1022961 - Running a VM from a gluster domain uses mount instead of
gluster URI)
Till then, fuse would
be used with native storage domain. You can find more details about
native storage domain here:
