I'm currently running a number of virtual hosts under qemu/kvm backed by iscsi storage and would like to move the storage onto glusterfs. Unfortunately, Debian's qemu does not come with gluster support. When searching for information on this, I came across this bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775431 It was tagged wontfix in Oct 2015 and closed Dec 2016. The basic reason for the wontfix is that gluster is packaged in a way which makes it infeasible to provide gluster support in the core qemu package, or even to create a qemu-glusterfs package, and this in turn is because upstream does things in a way which would make it difficult to maintain a stable glusterfs-dev package. Has this situation changed at all since then? Assuming it hasn't, is there a recommended procedure for replacing the standard Debian qemu with a version which adds gluster support? -- Dave Sherohman
