I am using ctdb for my storage only nodes and I must be doing something wrong because I
still have selinux problems without using gluster to replicate my meta data for ctdb. They
are storage only so turning off selinux doesn't bother me quite as much.
Ctdb does work quite well for that purpose, as its a distribute only gluster.
BTW thank you for the tutorial, I was kinda lost with glusterfs before I read it.

Yeah, in my howto I'm using the meta volume that ctdb uses for its lock
file to also store the config files for ctdb, and that's what selinux
doesn't like. It's not really necessary, though, the configs could just
be copied into the default locations on each node -- I think that would
resolve the selinux issue.
