Your going to run into a lot of issues with loop files. Unfortunately 
Gluster does not support tap:aio, so the only thing left is look with 
issues. :( I wish so much that this was not the case, but after working on 
this for about 6 months I ended up going with DRBD. It is much more 
limited then Gluster, but stable as a rock.
