Gluster users - Oct 2017 - gluster + synology

Hi,
Does anyone have any experience of using Synology NAS servers as bricks in a
gluster setup?  The ops team at my work prefers Synology since that is what they
are already using and some of the nice out-of-the-box admin features. From what
I can tell Synology runs a custom linux flavor so it should be possible to
compile gluster on it. Any first hand experience with it?

Thanks,
Ben

In theory, you can run GlusterFS on a Synology box, as it is "just a Linux
box".  In practice, you might be the first person to ever try it.

Not sure if this would be the first attempt. Synology seems to bundle
glusterfs in some form [1].
