Hi MArtin,
the XenServer Dom0 is 32bit whilst the hypervisor is 64 bit.
You need to know it when you install third part sw on the host.

So I need the 32bit compiled version to be able to mount glusterfs directly
from the XenServer host.
The built-in NFS module is typically as fast or faster than using the
fuse wrapper on the client side. So the best way to support 32-bit
clients is likely via NFS.

My home testing environment I also use XenServer (again, Citrix - with
a Centos minimalistic core OS) - even though the Dom0 is 64bit, in any
Xen setup (maybe even for other virtuali[s\z]ation solutions),
performance is better using 32bit VM's (DomU).
My production environment comprises of Xen virtual machines (not
XenServer, but still Xen), scattered around a remote datacenter.
I too will be sharing my experiences as GlusterFS offers exactly what
I need and would like to deploy.

From my point of view, 64 bit on server side is easy to handle but the
client side can have different needs and limitations.
For example, we are using XenServer from Citrix, the Dom0 is taken from a
CentOS 5 distro and it is 32bit. I cannot change that, because is a
Citrix
design choice and there might be lots of these situations around.
Sorry but I can't code any patches..
Anyway, I will share what our experience will be with 32bit client.

No statement from the developers about usability of glusterfs client

systems. But this was probably discussed in earlier threads.
I believe the official comment is that Gluster is not going to support
32-bit systems. However, it doesn't mean that the community cannot
support it. If we find bugs and can code up patches, we should still
file a bug and submit the patches and hopefully they will be checked
into the official repository.
Cheers,
Bernard
