Not sure if this is helpful, but just in case:

I also found this reference, which doesn't involve Drupal:

Supposedly some of the benefits achieved by the use of memcached have now been accommodated by some of the Glluster performance translators, but ...

The speed problem could be fixed with them, but it's not a replacement for what glusterfs is doing. I'm in the same boat: users upload images to a synchronously replicated gluster content area available to multiple web servers. Caching on individual servers is likely to run into coherency problems. With no server stickiness, we need to be able to guarantee that an uploaded file is immediately available to all front-ends without introducing a SPOF.

While gluster might not be ideal for this, it is the *only* solution I've found that does it all. Do you have any better suggestions?
