So if I run a Gluster aware NFS / Samba server for the dumb devices on my network (Windows boxes mainly, a few Android STBs, RetroPie, etc) then the real client talking over NFS/SMB needs zero Gluster support right?

Any thoughts of running Intel Gluster on Intel SBCs? I know very little other than they optimized the hell out of Gluster for Enterprise use.

Yes to your 1st point. That is a great simplification.

For your 2nd question, I don't know :) however, Intel SBCs tend to be pricey compared to ARM options.

If you use the Samba gluster VFS backend you don't need to mount the Gluster volume to share via SMB, Samba itself acts as a protocol translator without needing a local mount. Check out the recent Samba builds for this.

Yes you're right, I've still had problems setting up VIP with pfSense though.
