Valid use case yes.

If it will work with you're app I don't know it depends on the app.

For example if you can have 2 instances of the app that can use a single NFS 3rd party NFS server then the answer is yes cluster will work very well just replace every where in the how-to where it says NFS with Gluster. 

But it really depends on how the app writes file.

Hello all,

I'm completely new to gluster and want to know if what I'm thinking of
using it for is possible.

I've got a mail server (iRedMail to be exact) on a OpenSUSE 12.3 that
stores all mail data in /data.

I would like to put up a clone of this server and, using gluster, create
a master-master replication scheme of the /data directory on both so
that I have a hot standby should server A go down.

A) is this a legitimate use of Gluster
B) If A, is there some documentation I can be pointed to to sort it out?
