[Gluster-users] Query for web GUI for gluster configuration

[Joe Julian]

My images are, indeed, on the volume. I saw that image-based performance 
wasn't sufficient so I found a better way. That's my point. Not everyone 
is restricted from being able to take advantage of a better way. So yes, 
I mount a GlusterFS volume within a VM whose image resides on a 
GlusterFS volume.

By the way, you see "9 of 10 people" reporting poor performance in part 
because the people that don't have poor performance don't complain about 
it. Your metric is skewed.

I recognize you're upset because your expectations are not being met. 
You're not alone. I'm not alone either. I see about a dozen new users 
each day that are excited that this software solves a problem for them.

Maybe you should consider posting your use case and seeing if anyone has 
any suggestions on how you could satisfy that rather than trying to tell 
Vijay that he's doing it wrong.

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.
