[Gluster-devel] Glusterfs client and fuse mount working on OS X 10.9

[Harshavardhana]

Hi Dennis,

I cloned your repo and made a bunch of fixes -
https://forge.gluster.org/~y4m4/glusterfs-core/y4m4s-osx-glusterfs

I think the issue of OSXFUSE exists to some extent, if OSXFUSE  is not
performing well enough to Linux FUSE standards, i would bet it
wouldn't be worth to get the client porting done, with the advent of
gfapi, samba vfs plugin and also NFS ganesha project, all these will
work out of the box. I am just asking myself if there is a larger need
for Native FUSE support.

If at all needed then as a first step one or more of the gluster
community and devels should become active contributor to OSXFUSE
project, so that we can guarantee a consistent stability across OSX
native client too.

It is still debatable, let me know your views about having full fledged client.

I have made changes to remove libspl dependency for now, as i
implemented most of the necessary functions in
libglusterfs/src/syscall.c - if more portability is needed we should
be using "gnulib".

Thanks
