I have never heard a longer version of "we give up, because the code is BS".
Sorry, but for me it feels like you should just throw away the whole 3.X
series and re-implement the self-heal design - which is ok - based on top
of 2.X and _use config files_.
Your whole pseudo-automatism around glusterfsd is just bloatware.
And to me it looks you just failed to survive your self-created complexity,
exactly what I told you months ago.
"We can't do it, so lets pile the sh*t before someone else's home..."
WTF...
Why is it you cannot accept that it should be a _filesystem_, and nothing else?
It would have been a lot better to care about stability, keep it simple and
feel fine. Concentrate on the strength (client based replication setups) and
forget the rest.
Sorry, someone has to tell you... beat me.
