This is good
what i really don't like in gluster is the client doing all the replication.
replication and cluster management should be done directly by servers, not
by clients
client side the resources used for replication and cluster management could
be used for something else like virtualizations and so on.

> the NFS client talks to only one NFS server (the one which it mounts),
the NFS HA setup is only to failover a virtual IP to another healthy node.
so the NFS client will just do 3 minor timeouts then it will do a major
timeout, when that happens, the virtual IP failover will be already done.

The same is for native client.
even the native client has to wait for a timeout before changing the
storage node, right?
what happens to a virtual machine writing to disk during this timeout?
