Is there a FAQ/document somewhere with optimal mkfs and mount options for ext4

Something that I think would really help gluster is to have an online
configuration builder along the lines of Percona's MySQL config wizard:
http://tools.percona.com/wizard
I think there are a lot of parallels: a large number of (often underdocumented)
variables, but some common usage scenarios.
I'm really hoping for something like a pfSense distro that wraps gluster
up in a nice web GUI. It'd be great to have an appliance-like OS that
just works out of the box with a couple clicks. But that takes time, I
understand, ... and I'll be patient :-)
Meanwhile, I'm gonna keep working with Gluster and see if I can get the
performance. Recently I converted to using Linux Raid 10 on 4 1TB
drives and now I'm getting 310 MB/s write speed to my brick using "dd"
test. That's looking better and getting closer to maxing out a 1GbE
link. I need to put gluster on top of this and see if I can continue
the throughput all the way to the client mount.
As another test, I'm planning to buy some 480 GB SSD drives which can do
300+ MB/s each. I'm thinking if I build a Raid 10 configuration with
those, I might be able to push upwards of 1000+ MB/s. Then, let Gluster
and/or Samba sit on top of that and we'll see what's what.
