I have not, but can tell you from experience and education that
distributed filesystems don't work well with transactional workloads
such as IMAP and SMTP.  The two reasons are high latency and problems
with file locking, as Timo mentioned.

Instead of asking if anyone here has tried to use GlusterFS, why not
describe your situation and ask for advice on a solution?  That usually
works much better, and you gain valuable insight.
