(The docs about what it works with really should be pushed upstream.
It's not about glusterfs under pkgsrc on NetBSD, but glusterfs on NetBSD
regardless of how it is built.)

I think it's 99% likely that it will work fine on UFS2ea and ZFS.

Note that UFS2 has two variants, with and without EA, but AIUI you can
convert from UFS2 to UFS2ea.
