Hello, DRBD is faster because, among other things, it replicate byte blocks on disks, whatever they are. A corrupted master will be simply replicated... In order to try to improve glusterfs (metadata file level) performance one could try NUFA first at client side and then server side replication. NUFA is _very_ good to accelerate local writes and reads at distributed configuration. Maybe, such concepts could be developed to replication in future. Regards.
