I use glusterfs3.3.0 as KVM storage, but I have found the performance in vm is poor.

I have the same problem as the below bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=842254 the I/O performance is < 1% of my hardwares capability. Hopefully work on buffering and other tuning will fix this ? Or maybe the work mentioned getting qemu talking directly to gluster will fix this?
I replied with my phone, but didn't notice that I replied directly. For the benefit of others:

Or change your perspective. Do you NEED to write to the VM image?

I write to fuse mounted GlusterFS volumes from within my VMs. The VM image is just for the OS and application. With the data on a GlusterFS volume, I get the normal fuse client performance from within my VM.
