Our customers haven't asked for it yet, so we haven't given it any attention. I don't know if AB and team are thinking of it.

Chris - Encryption is on the long term road map, it is the type of feature that can be implemented as a translator. One of our engineers wrote a rot-13 translator as an example of the technology (NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE). git.gluster.com/?p=glusterfs.git;a=tree;f=xlators/encryption;hb=HEAD What kind of problem could you solve with encryption and Gluster?
