You could perhaps look at what the kernel in ubuntu 12.04 LTS is like.

Sorry I don't; I wasn't even aware that 5 to 6 upgrade was not possible. However the release schedules of RedHat are such that you're likely to sit on either 6 or 7 forever. With a replicated system you could at least shut down one node, reinstall it from scratch, reinstall the same version of glusterfs, and re-introduce it to the cluster.
