I wish I knew more about gluster.  You can ask it to do mirroring as long as you
have at least two "serves", according to the document at the URL below.

  http://gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_Storage_Platform

I wonder, though, whether the OP wants these filesystems to be "nearby"
or far apart with regard to networking.  I also wonder whether there
are constraints
on the two filesystems, e.g., maybe they can't be GFS or gluster because they
have to be single-host-mounted NTFS, in which case a higher-level approach
like rsync etc. might be the only option.
