[Gluster-devel] Announcing GlusterFS v3.1 Beta

[Vijay Bellur]

Hi All ,

We are excited to announce the availability of beta release for 
GlusterFS v3.1.

As detailed earlier in this mailer, this release introduces the dynamic 
volume management capabilities. Dynamic volume management allows you to 
add, remove, and migrate storage servers with no downtime or machine 
restarts. All of the dynamic volume management is driven through the 
gluster Command Line Interface, on which you have provided us valuable 
inputs. The Gluster native NFS implementation is also included in the 
build.

We encourage the developer community to participate in testing, report 
bugs, send patches and give feedback on functionality. The beta release 
is intended for QA testing purposes only, not all bugs are fixed, and 
the usual caveats apply. We value your opinion and would love to hear 
your feedback, good or bad, to ensure the highest quality product.

Please send your feedback to dvm-feedback at gluster.com
