Sorry, JM forgive my ignorance, but it simply does not match up what you say. First you say: "In general, I don't recommend any distributed filesystems for VM images, but I can also see that this is the wave of the future. " Which means you do not believe at all in one major goal of this fs. Hu? And then: "I am sorry that you haven't been able to deploy glusterfs in production. Discussing how and why glusterfs works - or doesn't work - for particular use cases is welcome on this list. Starting off a discussion about how the entire approach is unworkable is kind of counter-productive and not exactly helpful to those of us who just want to use the thing." Now how can you expect a "productive" input to a question where you yourself do not believe in an answer being possible at all. I mean, you expect it to fail anyway but nevertheless want people to spend their time? Most of us are _not_ paid for debugging glusterfs. Are you paid for it? And you do not believe in the project anyway (you said so above)? I am astonished ...
