Gluster users - Nov 2018 - Time Machine network backup on a Gluster volume

Hello all,

I would like to use a Gluster volume (3 disks over 3 nodes, replication 3)
as a time machine backup solution for a few Macbooks.

Has anyone done this kind of thing?  The Samba vfs_glusterfs plugin seems
to no longer be maintained (https://github.com/gluster/samba-glusterfs),
and I'm not sure if NFS is supported for time machine backups.

The gluster VFS is maintained in Samba, see, e.g.
https://github.com/samba-team/samba/blob/master/source3/modules/vfs_glusterfs.c

AFAIK timemachine is agnostic about the file system. My own home setup
uses an afpoe file system mounted from my Airport Extreme.
