OK, but it deadlocks when we write, unless we use "sync" option, which 
hurts the performance.


As mentioned by Rajesh Amaravathi:

Mid term, are there any plans to deal with this problem?

I understand the fix may need to be partially done on the kernel side, 
but it would be very beneficial to glusterfs.
