Steven,
I'm going to start testing it in a pre-production environment. It seems
so straightforward, integrates with ZFS, it has simple configuration
files, all around, I'm hoping that it garners more
clustering/replication for FreeBSD. Many of the other solutions are
quite tedious and setup complexity is quite annoying.

Hi,
I'd like to request that the gluster clustering/filesystem software be
ported and supported. This looks to be a very simple, straightforward
and viable clustering solution which FreeBSD has always lacked.
This looks like a very interesting project. I might be able to take
some time
over the weekend and create a port for this.
Out of curiosity, have you been using it in production? If so, can you
describe your setup
and your experience with it?

Looks promising

Several weeks ago I actually created a port for glusterfs as I was hoping to
implement it myself. I'll have to see if I saved any of my work. I actually
had a working port, but I may have dumped it. I will be happy to submit it if
I can find it. I just don't know that I will be able to maintain it.
A couple of notes from what I found:
1. It does not yet integrate with FreeBSD's implementation of ZFS (at least not
in 7.x) due to the lack of ACL support. You can use it with a UFS partition or
a UFS zvol. (Using a zvol requires a patch pjd@ recommended for performance
improvements.)
2. Performance in my setup was not very good over 2x1Gb LAGG. It might be
better over a faster, dedicated channel of some type.
