Josh,
although it might be more some "bleeding" than "cutting" edge,
is there/could you provide - some howto
get the lib gfapi working in ubuntu 13.04
given that it'll work with the port problem on live migration mentioned earlier? 
gluster 3.4.2 I hope fixed the port problem?
I'd be willing to do some testing/feed back on that.
best
Bernhard

No problems but do be aware that you'll want fast links if you actually want to saturate your disk bandwidth. We've bonded 10gbps links and we still saturate those before we fully utilize our IO. I've not tested NFS specifically but performance is something you're looking for I'd strongly suggest gfapi which gets us near 400MBps writes in a replica 2 config across the above mentioned interfaces.  You'll have to do some work on the KVM sources for gfapi though as it's not even made it into the debian unstable packages.
