The biggest issue may be fixed now, but once a xen file was opened Gluster would only write to one node. A smaller issue is you have to use file rather then tap:aio and file is biggest and can cause corruption in xen. There was one other issue, but don't remember what it was right now. ><> Nathan Stratton CTO, BlinkMind, Inc. nathan at robotics.net nathan at blinkmind.com http://www.robotics.net http://www.blinkmind.com
