Click to expand... Glusterfs is quite limited regarding snapshot, and there is not kernel driver. We could use the fuse mount, but so far that is not implemented, and would only give us limited functionality.

Click to expand... Yes. Just use ZFS as storage backend. But that only works for local storage.

Is that only because of the backup functionality (snapshots)? Too bad that wasn't described in the wiki, as this changes quite a lot.

I'm currently trying this out with glusterfs but have no results yet.
