This sounds like a bad idea. use gluster for storing data, not for<br>
storing configuration. You are using a cluster storage where you<br>
should just use configuration management. Don't confuse the two<br>
concepts. One is totally not like the other, and you cannot replace<br>
one with the other.<br>
<br>
This will create tons of cyclic deps.<br>
<br>
This all sounds like a terrible idea, you are actively working on<br>
making things hard for you.<br>
