Gluster Performance

I did some basic tests using GlusterFS with the default settings. rsync tests were only run once. DD tests are run 3 times, so they are more accurate. Rsync was done with 2.4Gb of content from a cPanel homedir, so this includes web content and email.

Normally I will do seeker and htparm tests, but since these are not block devices that does not work.
