You should clarify what you mean by 'performance'. For example, large file write, large file reads, small file writes, small file reads, etc... This will help rule in / out Gluster or other distributed file systems.

I've got a 50 machines (linux, like centos, with a compiled kernel) that need access to a storage solution (today is a opensolaris access with NFS). My questions are: 1 - I export a volume with iSCSI and configure a Gluster in the machines (like a OCFS2 or GFS)? 2 - I configure a gluster in the storage (opensolaris) and access with a gluster client? What's the best practice? What do you recommend for me? Gluster is recommended for performance? Thanks for your attention.
