[Gluster-devel] Problems with unify

[Amar S. Tumballi]

Oh! that mail escaped my notice. We can integrate this patch to mainline.
So, you need not worry about patching server every time.  Btw, please do
send me the patch you have for the latest GlusterFS (because, there is a lot
changed from 1.3.3 time).

About the version, yes, server and client needs to be of the same version
for now. (From 1.3.8+ any 1.3.x server can work with 1.3.x client)

Regards,
Amar
