There are, regrettably, a large number of legacy applications the rely on a traditional filesystem. An equally large number of customers continue to rely on these same applications, for the foreseeable future (and they pay us to run the stuff). Traditionally, I would have just suggested a ZFS NFS fileserver - but it adds a single point of failure, manual failover with ZFS sends/HAST etc. GlusterFS would eliminate this (in situations where the customer needs a number of servers anyway). I guess, it won’t happen until somebody is paid to do it (SoC sort of proofed that) - directly or indirectly.
