I have some questions on GlusterFS:
(1) How do you secure GlusterFS traffic? Does GlusterFS use some kind of encryption on the wire or do you have to manually setup a VPN?
(2) How well does GlusterFS work if you host bricks on web servers? If data are sharded per user, can you make a web server always have fast access to that user data (can you guarantee a copy of the data is always hosted locally on that web server?) -- or is this something that only happens indirectly through the OS cache?
(3) Do you need something more from the underlying filesystem to guarantee data integrity, like running GlusterFS on ZFS? Or is GlusterFS enough?

Although I have not used the feature, there is support for SSL, look it up. I have also heard about people trying it over OpenVPN though not sure how successful they were. > (2) How well does GlusterFS work if you host bricks on web servers?

Don't have first hand experience with this, but I can recommend you Joe Julian's blog, i.e. http://joejulian.name/blog/optimizing-web-performance-with-glusterfs/ http://joejulian.name/blog/optimizing-web-performance-with-g... > (3) Do you need something more from the underlying filesystem to guarantee data integrity, like running GlusterFS on ZFS? Or is GlusterFS enough? GlusterFS relies on the underlying filesystem to do its job, the recommended one is XFS with 512 bytes inode size.
