Why do you feel it doesn't fit well with it and that it requires its own type? Perhaps I need to take a closer look at how the qemu gluster interface actually works. Should we focus on getting the qemu gluster interface working for Ganeti, the more typical way you use gluster with it mounted on the Ganeti node, or try and focus on both? I think the qemu gluster interface is the most ideal personally. Thanks- -- Lance Albertson Director Oregon State University | Open Source Lab
