Hi, Does GlusterFS implement the Linux VFS functionality. I know its a user space FS, but user space FS should also implement VFS funtions. Is this true also to GlusterFS ?

For Macs there is MacFUSE and *BSD have Linux FUSE capability; each is integrated with its own FS abstraction which doesn't necessarily map 1:1 with the Linux VFS layer. -- Kaleb
