As for GlusterFS mounts directly on Solaris, I haven't tried. I've been watching the mailing lists of FUSE on OpenSolaris (as I'm quite interested in this option), and it appears that it may be workable, but they accepted a patch a few months ago which broke compatibility with older OpenSolaris kernels (such as those found in the OpenSolaris releases, even Solaris Express is too old, perhaps especially for Sparc), so you're practically forced to work with the latest OpenSolaris (Nevada) code.
Hmm, I just checked the latest on the OpenSolaris situation, and it does appear that OpenSolaris Express Developer Edition is now (as of last month) sufficiently recent (including for Sparc) to support the OpenSolaris FUSE port. If you're willing to depart from Solaris <=10, this could be very tempting...
