[Gluster-users] Tiering and sharding for VM workload

[Krutika Dhananjay]

Theoretically whatever you said is correct (at least from shard's
perspective).
Adding Rafi who's worked on tiering to know if he thinks otherwise.

It must be mentioned that sharding + tiering hasn't been tested as such
till now by us at least.

Did you try it? If so, what was your experience?
