I was a glusterfs user for years waiting for significant performance improvements. But they never arrived. Instead the software got from a fs driver to a userspace collection of tools of a fs emulation with complete bogus configs without the slightest path to a working and overall useable setup. IOW it was developed into a deadend. And honestly I would be the first to deploy it again if it came back to where it was, a network fs exporting a linux-fs with no additional bs. The day where this changed to something needing to copy every file onto over glusterfs to work "properly" was the first day of its death. The original idea was great, the implementation is useless. And yes, there is a lack of a HA network fs (which is indeed one, not something like ceph). This is why I even feel more sorry about the whole ongoings. It could have been a big hit.
