[Gluster-devel] progress on [FEAT] selective read-only mode ?

[Saravanakumar Arumugam]

Hi,
I have started working on this selective read-only feature.

I was working on Tiering aware Geo-replication, refer [4] below, hence you
didn't see any update on this feature.

Hopefully, you can expect some updates in this month.

Thanks,
Saravana
