Well as I said it was a long time I ago that I tried this. I don't 
really remember what the issue with glusterfs was. I tried many things 
back then... (gfs, glusterfs, lustre, and others). They either required 
manual kernel recompilation (but with the openvz patch this could have 
caused trouble), or too much other tools running around it (like at 
least gfs requires). I just can't remember what the thing with glusterfs 
was :)

But it's interesting to hear that you have no problem running it. I 
might try it again soon, and I'll try this list when I run into trouble.

Things might have become better after a year :)
