Vlad,

Although the complete set of details might be missing at one place
right now, some pointers to start are available at,
https://github.com/gluster/gluster-block#gluster-block and
https://pkalever.wordpress.com/2019/05/06/starting-with-gluster-block,
hopefully that should give some clarity about the project. Also
checkout the man pages.

> Dies it bypass Fuse and go directly gfapi ?

yes, we don't use Fuse access with gluster-block. The management
as-well-as IO happens over gfapi.

Please go through the docs pointed above, if you have any specific
queries, feel free to ask them here or on github.

Best Regards,
