We are using GitHub issues (https://github.com/kadalu/kadalu/issues) or
slack channel (https://kadalu.slack.com) to discuss kadalu issues. This is
Ok, but not every issue of kadalu may be discussed here.

the node is used for 'mounting' (ie, to fetch the volume info), so, if you
are having a HA setup with replica 3, even if the node goes down,
gluster file system continues to work, ie, all PVs will be working fine.

We can enhance the 'options:' in storage spec to take
'backup-volfile-server', so even the mount issue can be resolved. Should be
an RFE to project.

Is the second storage cluster having access to nodes in this cluster? (ie,
reachability?) if yes, it works as an 'External' gluster setup for that
second cluster. Should work technically, haven't tried that setup.
