Hi, thanks for the info, tomorrow i'll try to go back to an older version
from source code of both fuse and gluster. I prefer source code or tla to
"apt-get", cause it gives me more flexibility, debian developers are too
conservative in my opinion and work some months behind to make things
stable. This is great in many aspects, but i'd rather work with the latest
version of gluster.

as for the "fuse client" thing... well... this log if from one of the
nodes, i haven't got further because of this compilation error.

thanks.
