Joe,
9 of 10 people I have seen here reported very poor performance when running 
VMs. Obviously they run, but al the performance tests gave results that no one 
would expect to get. So yes it works for low profile virtual server, like quite 
web servers, etc, but not in general. Any peak you need it can't accomplish and 
it does need improvements on Gluster code.
You can't add it to oVirt and tell people, "Look, it's there but it's only for 
lwo profile servers that don't require any significant performance". People 
don't wouldn't even consider that.
Also you seem to eb mounting Gluster inside the VM which is not the case here. 
On oVirt that would be for hosting the VM's images.

Regards,

Fernando

It's only "far from good" for certain use cases, not all. I'm actually quite 
pleased that GlusterFS emphasizes C & P over A and none of my users complain ( 
I use raw images for 14 kvm vms on one of my GlusterFS volumes ). Those VMs 
mount GlusterFS volumes for their application data. 
Very little is done on the raw image.

Not everybody that uses virtualization is going to be marketing those VMs to 
3rd parties that expect it to pretend to be an isolated system.
