[Gluster-devel] GlusterFS-0.1-rc1 Release

[Amar S. Tumballi]

Hi all,
 Now glusterfs-0.1-rc1 version is released. 

 The tarball is available @ ftp://www.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs-0.1-rc1.tar.gz

This version is :

 * No memory leak observed in a high load run for 30+ hrs.
 * All variables are declared as stdint types.
 * Tested unify/transport/posix translators for more than 30+ hrs of activity.
     Test run included, 
	1) kernel extraction, compiling, removing kernel source dir.
	2) continues read/write to a file. 
	3) cp -a /etc/ /var/ dirs (of debian distro, which contains lot of symlinks and hardlinks).
	4) ls -lR of  big directory.
     Ran all these cases in an while true; loop. This run is still continuing in our lab.

This version is *not* :

  * Expected to give very good performance. 


The work for improving performance of glusterfs is already started. For more info hang around on #gluster  (irc.gnu.org/irc.freenode.net)
