Sorry, I was not seeing messages because I was not subscribed on the 
list; I read it from the web.

So it seems that Pavel and WK have vastly different experience with 
Gluster. Any plausible cause for that difference?

This is true even if I manage locking at application level (via virlock 
or sanlock)?
Also, on a two-node setup it is *guaranteed* for updates to one node to 
put offline the whole volume?
On the other hand, a 3-way setup (or 2+arbiter) if free from all these 
problems?

Thanks.
