Hi Ignacio,

yes we are running glusterfs for the image store and cinder.

GlusterFS for Swift is .... not really the recommended idea. Swift
service allows you to scale without a cluster or shared file system.

We are using glusterfs, instead of swift, for the image store because
swift is running on top of openstack. Otherwise you can use swift as a
good storage backend.


Glance => If possible to Swift => If not glusterFS/ceph or whatever
Cinder => you can choose some drivers, we are using glusterFS as backend
driver.
Swift => storage nodes should be standalone bare metal servers and you
will reach the best performance. Your proxy servers can be fire up
somewhere.


Cheers
Heiko
