GlusterFS 3.4 hits Alpha

People interested in distributed filesystems will be glad to hear GlusterFS has reached v3.4 Alpha.
This new version brings a lot of new and really cool stuff to the table:
    WORM (write once read many)
    Operating version for glusterd
    Block device translator
    Duplicate Request Cache
    Server Quorum
    libgfapi
    VM image storage improvements – not related to QEMU integration; related to performance improvements
    NFSv3 ACL support
The new QEMU integration should massively increase performance when used as backing storage for KVM virtual machines. Really nice!
