If doing a VM on top of gluster is the kind of solution you are resorting to. Do you think using gluster-block would be a good idea here? It is still in development state. We are working on how to get snapshot functionalities. But if you guys want to test and give us feedback, that would be very helpful and we can move very quickly to get it in GA state.
