[Gluster-devel] Gluster Coreutils

Mon Jun 15 07:04:00 UTC 2015

Hi Craig,

That's cool! I was more interested in knowing how you plan to implement the commands.
To be specific, do you plan to connect/disconnect(glfs_init/glfs_fini) to the gluster
server for each command or persist the connection across commands?

Regards,
Poornima
