I'm using gluster 3.3.0-1 on two KVM host nodes. I have a 1TB logical volume used as a brick on each node to create a replicated volume. I store my VM's on this volume and have each node mount the gluster volume via localhost using the native FUSE gluster driver. I get about 75-105MB/s over 1Gb Ethernet. Been running this since 3.3 came out. I did quite a bit of failure testing before going live. So far it is working well. I'm only using it as a glorified network RAID1 to make live migration of my VM's fast.
David.
