Breakage between releases. I'm "stuck" using GlusterFS 3.8 because someone support to enable NFS-Ganesha. from the gluster command has been vanished without anything mentioned in the error message what other commands replaces it. Judging from other people's answers - the answer is storhaug does it from now, but there are practically <b>0 Documentation</b> how to use it.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sorry about your experience regarding upgrade. We have taken upgrade as a major priority for release team, and hence are actually calling 4.1 as the first release of 4.x series saner to upgrade, where as 4.0 release would be good for anyone starting new, and want to test in a new setup.</div><div><br></div><div>We will make sure that the documentation focus will cover migration section properly.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>2. There's a new tool in glusterFS to enable automation called gdep[oy, but again, the documentation for it is pretty short, there isn't for example a config for 2 node replication cluster with NFS-Ganesha, one of the most popular configuration for testing so a person could help from this example how things do work.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, When I spoke of Focus on Integrations, this was on our head. We want to make sure we have peripheral projects to deal with managing filesystem. gDeploy is one of that.</div><div><br></div><div>Actually, to make things more ansible friendly, we also started <a href="https://github.com/gluster/gluster-ansible">https://github.com/gluster/gluster-ansible</a> too. Which can be used as per the need. We will most probably move towards documenting steps using these projects in the use case specific documentation.</div><div> </div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>3. The commercial product (RHGS) is "stuck" in the 3.3 days, is there any chance it will move forward to any of the last stable versions?</div><div><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This is more of a question for Red Hat Product / Support team. I am sure Red Hat's product version is not direct map to glusterfs version. </div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Amar</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div></div><div>Thanks</div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="gmail-m_-4718680887671718305gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><div dir="rtl" style="font-family:Arial,Verdana,sans-serif"><br></div></span><span style="border-collapse:separate;font-family:"Times New Roman";font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:Arial,Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div dir="rtl"><div dir="rtl"><div dir="rtl"><font color="#FF0000"><b><div style="margin:0px;background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Times New Roman";font-weight:normal;font-size:medium"></div></b></font></div><div dir="rtl" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:normal"></div><div dir="rtl" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:normal"></div><div dir="rtl" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:normal"></div></div></div></span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
