As for GlusterFS mounts directly on Solaris, I haven't tried. I've been
watching the mailing lists of FUSE on OpenSolaris (as I'm quite interested in
this option), and it appears that it may be workable, but they accepted a
patch a few months ago which broke compatibility with older OpenSolaris
kernels (such as those found in the OpenSolaris releases, even Solaris
Express is too old, perhaps especially for Sparc), so you're practically
forced to work with the latest OpenSolaris (Nevada) code.
Hmm, I just checked the latest on the OpenSolaris situation, and it does
appear that OpenSolaris Express Developer Edition is now (as of last
month) sufficiently recent (including for Sparc) to support the
OpenSolaris FUSE port. If you're willing to depart from Solaris <=10,
this could be very tempting...
