[Gluster-users] glusterfs via libgfapi as local block device?

I see many posts regarding using libgfapi for qemu guest voluimes, but how
about as a mounted volume at the OS level? Is there a way to mount a
glusterfs share as a local block device in Linux, bypassing the FUSE?
Instead of doing a mount -t glusterfs server:/volume, which appears as type
fuse.glusterfs, can libgfapi be used to allow direct access and eliminate
the fuse overhead? Do i need to set this up as iSCSI target in order for
this to work?

Thanks,
Dave
