But the installation guide says differently: http://download.gluster.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.2/Documentation/IG/html/ch02s02s03.html "2.2.3. File System Requirements "Red Hat recommends XFS when formatting the disk sub-system. XFS supports metadata journaling, which facilitates quicker crash recovery. The XFS file system can also be de-fragmented and enlarged while mounted and active. Any other POSIX compliant disk file system, such as Ext3, Ext4, ReiserFS may also work, but has not been tested widely." Regards, Brian.
