I asked about 32bit support when glusterfs 3.1.0 was released: http://www.mail-archive.com/gluster-devel at nongnu.org/msg07150.html They focus on 64bit due to their own clients requiring it - hence I understand their commitment. It is a pity that us 32bit users are without support, but the great thing about opensource and mailing list communities, we can supply support for each other and let the devs continue in their great work. I had not fully tested the 3.1.0 release but did find the fuse client better (file locking is non existent when mounting over NFS) - but the performance hit was quite large on my tiny Virtual Machine cluster setup - so I am unsure if i had short writes just using NFS alone. (I have a feeling it may be related to a bug that some other 64bit users encountered). I will be testing 3.1.1 as soon as it appears.
