I was thinking about this.
If you meant creating multiple volumes, ok, but having to create
multiple clusters is a bad idea.
Gluster performs better with multiple nodes, if you have to split the
infrastructure (and nodes)
in multiple cluster, you'll affect the performance.

Is something like to create multiple enterprise SAN to avoid data corruption.
Data corruption must be address with firmware/software updates, not by
creating multiple storages.

if you create 2 gluster storages, you'll get the same issues in
multiple storages. It's a bad workaround, not a solution.
