    Query

    When I replicate any file /folder on any of the node. it successfully replicated. I want to replicate a virtual machine so that the change can be replicate from one node to another. I want to run a virtual machine on the gluster filesystem. is it possible ?
    (currently I copy a virtual machine on gluster filesystem but when I try to run it, the virtual machine got hunged while booting.)
