I don't remember installing it. I've checked the installation on another machine on which I recently installed Fedora-27 on bare hardware;

doesn't show anything, so I must have done something to cause the gluster filesystem to be installed.

Right, it's not part of the default install.

Is there any reason not to remove it?

On the other hand, is gluster useful for some particular purpose? For example, can it be configured as a backup system to protect a computer against ransomware, etc?

It's a distributed network file system. It's kind of like nfs but with multiple servers and each file has multiple copies on different servers.

Here are the results of the commands you asked about:

$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/gluster.conf

glusterfs-3.12.4-1.fc27.x86_64

I suspect that it was brought in by qemu. Did you install virtualization packages? The strange part is that the user wasn't created. If that had happened, you would never have noticed that it was installed.

I suggest filing a bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=glusterfs with the info from your original message. It seems like a bug to me that it's expecting a user that it didn't create.
