[Gluster-users] small files optimizations

Currently, which are the best small files optimization that we can enable
on a gluster storage?

I'm planning to move a couple of dovecot servers, with thousands mail files
(from a couple of KB to less than 10-20MB)

These optimizations are compatible with VMs workload, like sharding?
As gluster doesn't support to "share" bricks with multiple volumes, I would
like to create a single volume with VMs and maildirs

Does it make sense ?

Would be interesting to implement a soft of logical volume (with it's own
feature settings) on top of the same bricks?
Like LVM on a disk.
