[Gluster-devel] GlusterFS 3.0pre1 (Whats in 3.0)

[Harshavardhana]

Gordan,

   Recent RHEL and CentOS kernel update of -164 patch set has included fuse
into
   there rpms.  ABI version in 2.6.18-164 is 7.10 for fuse. This has been a
phenominal
   improvement as the ABI version even till fuse-2.7.4glfs11 was 7.8. So
pretty much
   with new kernel update its pretty much dependency free :)

Regards
