Hello Shain Thanks for your suggestions but what I'm trying to do is a bit different. I am trying to create a glusterfs volume that will contain the OpenVZ containers to use it as shared filesystem for high availability and not to mount glusterfs from inside existing OpenVZ containers. I have done some more tests and it doesn't seem to work even with quota disabled (that I read is supported by OpenVZ only with ext3/4 fs) and with just one node. Any other suggestions?
