The way I like to think about it is GlusterFS implements the Linux FUSE 
API/ABI, which on Linux is integrated into the Linux VFS layer.

For Macs there is MacFUSE and *BSD have Linux FUSE capability; each is 
integrated with its own FS abstraction which doesn't necessarily map 1:1 
with the Linux VFS layer.
