Our Environment is - 4 node supermicro server (each 50TB, NL SAS 4TB used, LSI 9260-8i) - Totally 100TB service volume - 10G Storage Network and Service network (for NFS) - VMware / Linux / IBM AIX Clients Currently, VM images on GlusterFS is used for Data(Backup) not OS Image.

[Gluster-users] glustefs as vmware datastore in production
Nice to read this. Any particular reason to *not* run the OS image in glusterfs cluster?

Sometimes os disk hang occured and re-mounted with ro in vm guest(centos6) when storage was busy. After install vmware plugin, increased block response timeout to 30 sec. But os workload reponse time was not good. I guess my system composed with 5400 rpm disks with raid6. Overall storage performance is not good for multiple os images. best regards.
