Icelander here, I'm more concerned how well does this house work in icelandic conditions? Does it handle earthquakes well? What about regular storms? Being wet for months end? Constant freezing and thawing? Can you put it in an active volcano? Does if float on magma? There are lot of questions here!

Well, we used it for storage backend for VMs few years back.
For some reasons it usually failed on high load, resulting in bad split-brains, extremely slow IO and loss of data. Very bad. We contacted Red Hat regarding that and got comments that gluster was not VM ready yet. We ditched gluster and went for plane proven old iSCSI.
I look at the k as a algebric constant, i.e. SI prefix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_prefix#List_of_prefixes
so 2k8 is 2000 +8,
2k1da3 would be 2013
