[Gluster-users] What application workloads are too slow for you on gluster?

[Pranith Kumar Karampuri]

If doing a VM on top of gluster is the kind of solution you are resorting
to. Do you think using gluster-block would be a good idea here? It is still
in development state. We are working on how to get snapshot
functionalities. But if you guys want to test and give us feedback, that
would be very helpful and we can move very quickly to get it in GA state.
