Storing PHP sessions on Gluster FS really isn't a good option, because session file is locked while scripts access it. You will definetly hit a performance issue. My advice is to setup a memcached server and use memcache (or memcached) PHP module's ability to store session data in memcache server. It has the capability to provide a fault-tolerant service if you setup a few memcached servers. And it's lightning fast.
Interesting. I had actually used memcache sessions before but the app doesn't work with them so I had to fall back to file-based sessions. Why does locking cause such problems? It works quite well on NFS.
