> Some places say it requires NFS , other that i supports both GlusterFS and NFS. I'm interested in the GlusterFS option. Does hosted engine support GlusterFS on the same physical node as where the engine VM will reside(basically running both vdsm and gluster on the same physical host). If yes, can the hosted-engine --deploy create glusterfs or it has to be created manually prior and after engine install imported into Ovirt?

About having Hosted Engine Feature backported to stable 3.3.2, we're still discussing introducing its support
in VDSM on vdsm-devel list.

In the mean time, you can use nightly for testing.
