<div>Eric, </div>
<div>I'm sorry to hear this. </div>
<div>I'm reaching out internally (within Gluster CI team and
CentOS CI which supports Gluster) to get an idea of the level of
effort we'll need to provide to resolve this. </div>
<div>It'll take me a few days to get this, but this is on my
radar. In the meantime, is there somewhere I should be looking
at for requirements to meet this gateway? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks! </div>

Ah, Red Hat's statement that the acquisition of InkTank was
not an<br>
abandonment of Gluster seems rather disingenuous now. I'm
disappointed.<br></blockquote></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I am a Red Hat employee working on gluster and I am happy with the kind of investments the company did in GlusterFS.

Would you please start a thread on the gluster-users and
gluster-devel<br>
mailing lists and see if there's anyone willing to take
ownership of<br>
this. I'm certainly willing to participate as well but my
$dayjob has<br>
gone more kubernetes than openstack so I have only my
limited free time<br>
that I can donate.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></blockquote></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Do we know what would maintaining cinder as active entail?
