I feel compelled to write a disagreement. I've been running GlusterFS for 6 months with 15TB of data on a 43TB cluster using 5 servers with zero issues. I have no idea what your particular combination of bad luck was, but I don't think your experience is truly reflective of the product, the team, or Red Hat's sensibilities.

You're living the dream then, and I'm glad to hear this is possible. :)

Do you mind sharing which GlusterFS version you're on, which kernel, and roughly what your load profile is? (eg. lots of small files, read-heavy, write-heavy, etc.) Also, are you using Red Hat Gluster Storage or the open source version?

opensource glusterfs 3.7.6

Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS 3.13.0-24-generic g

read heavy with a mix of 100MB or 15GB files depending on datasets

Red Hat Gluster Storage is open source.

I'm not surprised that you have good experience with this setup.
