Wido, Are you sure on that? I know the libgfapi is in C. But I thought GlusterFS was now supported in both libvirt and qemu (1.0.1+, 1.3; respectively).
1.0.1: Dec 17 2012 Features: Introduce virtlockd daemon (Daniel P. Berrange), parallels: add disk and network device support (Dmitry Guryanov), Add virDomainSendProcessSignal API (Daniel P. Berrange), Introduce virDomainFSTrim() public API (Michal Privoznik), add fuse support for libvirt lxc (Gao feng), Add Gluster protocol as supported network disk backend (Harsh Prateek Bora), various snapshot improvements (Peter Krempa, Eric Blake) Thanks, John On Jul 15, 2013, at 9:56 AM, Wido den Hollander <w...@widodh.nl> wrote: > Hi John, > > On 07/15/2013 04:52 PM, John Skinner wrote: >> Thanks, Wido. >> >> I am not a programmer per se, but I am going to pull the code down and have >> a look to see if I can figure it out.
