Hello Jiri, also thanks for this solution. I agree to Alan that I needed to manually add the DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS="--enable-glusterfs".
In addition I can confirm that above workaround to get native glusterfs support to qemu also works on Ubuntu LTS 12.04.3 (Precise) by using the latest packages for Openstack Havana from The Ubuntu Cloud Archive: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/CloudArchive which will be supported until 2017. They are also compiled without qemu native glusterfs support ! First I upgraded all packages of my LTS-Server. It's also already running raring kernels-series 3.8.x (sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-raring) sudo apt-get upgrade I added this repo: sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:havana To void dependency problems during package-configuration this leads to completely upgraded and configured packages: sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm librados2 librbd1 libvirt-bin libvirt0 python-libvirt qemu-common qemu-kvm qemu-utils qemu-system-x86 qemu-system-common sudo apt-get upgrade Afterwards I followed your steps to get qemu build with native glusterfs support.
