Could you elaborate on that? Although at the moment I don't appear to
have a need for ACL on the storage, it is always good to be aware of

Thanks for the confirmation :)

Also just for the benefit of whoever else in the future looking at the archives
Just found this link which seems to confirm that Gluster can be used
to share active/active failover storage to multiple machines by

do it on cloud VM.
