I'm running Centos 5.3 also and it supports tap:aio, but disabling direct io mode doesn't work with GlusterFS. Even they do lots of backporting I assume it's still missing something. RHEL 5.4 should include Fuse aswell so I hope that makes a difference. > SLES/OpenSUSE 11 uses a 2.6.27 kernel, with the Xen.org patches forward > ported.

I'll take a look at it and let's see if it helps :)
