Gluster users - Apr 2014 - Survey of GlusterFS implementation details?

Hi, all.

As I was tinkering with my GlusterFS setup, I was just thinking about
how useful it would be to have some sort of stats on peoples' GlusterFS
implementations.  Things like:

- Ethernet or Infiniband?
- TCP or RDMA?
- Fiber or copper?
- RAID or JBOD?
- Hardware RAID or software (md?) RAID
- XFS or ext4 or ZFS or btrfs?
- RHEL or Ubuntu?

This could lower the barrier of entry to people who are new to GlusterFS
and need help making decisions.  Also, the data would just be
reallllllly interesting!

It could be as simple as a Survey Monkey, unless someone has a better
idea for something more formal / professional...

Cheers,

Sounds like a very good idea.

JM and Paul have dabbled with a similar idea and might have a ready 
questionnaire as well. Seems like a good thing to collaborate on and 
have it rolling.

Thanks,
