Dear All,

I have installed Gluster FS v. 1.3.12 on 2 server with Debian 4.05,
in AFR with client side replication, explained in this page:
http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/Setting_up_AFR_on_two_servers_with_client_side_replication
Tested to work!

:-)

Now, my idea:

Use a Xen Hypervisor with image disk data for DomU machines on GlusterFS
repository

Your going to run into a lot of issues with loop files. Unfortunately Gluster does not support tap:aio, so the only thing left is look with issues. :( I wish so much that this was not the case, but after working on this for about 6 months I ended up going with DRBD. It is much more limited then Gluster, but stable as a rock.
