Not to go off topic too much but what was your problem with gluster and xen?

I'm preparing to roll out a rather large xen based product and utilize gluster 
to store the sparse image files for each instance.

Haven't ran into many issues yet, so I'm just wondering if you know something I 
don't :)

Bad bad bad news... The biggest issue may be fixed now, but once a xen file was opened Gluster would only write to one node. A smaller issue is you have to use file rather then tap:aio and file is biggest and can cause corruption in xen. There was one other issue, but don't remember what it was right now.
