How did I not see this ... mea culpa

Yes, we are using GlusterFS in multiple sites with multiple users. 
Getting excellent performance out of it, as long as the IB can keep up. 
  Long story ask me over beer some day ...

We are generating multiple quotes/RFP responses with it (one is going

Bug me offline if you'd like.
