Did anyone use mirrored glusterfs for storing virtual machine images, 
like qcow2?
Virtual machine images are typically large, ranging from a few GBs to 
hundreds of GBs.
Usually, they are mirrored with things like DRBD.
I was wondering if anyone uses gluster (in mirrored mode) for storing 
images of running virtual machines?
How resilient can we expect gluster to be when:
1) the host writing to glusterfs crashes,
2) one of glusterfs mirrors crashes.
Anyone with some experience here?
