Hi Bill,

There are a feature request open on github to make Kimchi support 
GlusterFS pool.
It is not in the next releases plans but of course, patches are more 
than welcome.

If I am not mistaken the subjects, I think there is someone interested 
on doing that as well. I would need to check the github issues to 
confirm that.

Regards,
Aline Manera
