Well, my hope is that such a tool or document would be unnecessary for most people because the system would do the tuning itself - either making or suggesting specific changes as appropriate. Nonetheless, such an approach can never be complete. What I can suggest is that people read and contribute to this thread on the community site about such issues: http://community.gluster.org/a/linux-kernel-tuning-for-glusterfs/
