Ah, well I was actually looking around to see if with 3.2 there was a
command to set the performance options... answers that question. Either way,
though, I think setting the threads will help a lot.

I believe that it is more consistent and repeatable to just use the gluster
command to set this. Example from this page:
http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.1:_Settin
g_Volume_Options

gluster volume set VOLNAME performance.io-thread-count 64

This also means that your changes will persist across any other "gluster
volume set" commands. Generally speaking, hand editing the volume config
files is a bad idea, IMHO.

Whoops, and forgot the threads edit for the brick instance config:

volume <volname>-io-threads
    type performance/io-threads
    option thread-count 64
    subvolumes <volname>-locks
end-volume

I've been using 3.2.0 for a while, but I had a problem with userspace
programs "hanging" on accessing some files on the gluster mount (described
here on the list).

I downgraded to 3.1.4 (remove 3.2.0 rpm and config, install 3.1.4 rpm, add
nodes) and it works fine for me.

3.0.x was also crashing for me when SSHFS-like mount was used to the server
with gluster mount (and reads/writes were made from the gluster mount
through it).
