Gluster users - Feb 2014 - gluster on VM and RDBMS

Hi,
We are planning to run glusterfs on openstack based VM cluster, I
understood that gluster replication is based on file level. What is the
drawback of running RDBMS on gluster

Do you intend running a database within a VM whose disks reside on a 
gluster volume? If so, that is something which GlusterFS should be able 
to handle. It is recommended to run pre-production tests to ensure that 
the desired performance requirements are met.

Hi Suvendu,

I have used Gluster to store old data in PostgreSQL database, the access
for this data was very good, but was old data, the recent data was store in
SAS Disk because permance.
