Gluster cluster uses really slow (green) disks but without direct io it can achieve throughput around 400mbit/s. This storage is used mostly for backup purposes. It is not used as a vm storage. In my case it would be nice not to use direct io in export case but I understand why it might not be wise.

[Gluster-users] [ovirt-users] slow performance with export storage on glusterfs
What about mounting over nfs instead of the fuse client. Or maybe libgfapi. Is that available for export domains On Fri, Nov 24, 2017 at 3:48 AM Ji??
