[Gluster-devel] GFS Architecture Docs

[Joseph Fernandes]

Hi Srikanth,

Did you try these steps,
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Development_Work_Flow

What is the OS you are using for development?
Would recommend Fedora 21 as you can easily find required rpm via "yum" i.e "yum search " and "yum install".
(This recommendation is only from personal use :) ...)

Let me know if the above link is of some help.

BTW, Did you guys register yourselves to "gluster-devel" and "gluster-user" mailing lists? If no please do it :)
It will keep you updated on what is happening in the "GlusterFS World"
plus
You can post your queries/ideas/proposals/discussions/announcements on these mailing list and have GlusterFS
Developers/Users interact with you folks directly!

Hi Joseph,
Thanks for your help, we will go through these documents. Right now we have downloaded the code (3.5 latest version) and trying to compile them. We are not able to fulfill its pre-requirements.

Srikanth / Sidharth

Hi Joseph,

Hope you'r doing good. I and Srikanth had attended GFS meetup in Bangalore
and spoke to you in detail regarding cache tiering in GFS (after the meetup
session).
In order to continue our interest in GFS, we spent time configuring and
exploring GFS. We were able to configure GFS volumes on our laptop. We
further wanted to dig in to the architecture details for our better
understanding and also help us to contribute for the same, however we could
not find relevant docs.

Could you please point us to location where we can find one. We did look at
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Arch  , however
some of the links were broken.
Any help wrt information gathering is much appreciated.

We found your email id in GFS web portal and hence thought of communicating
on the same. Hope you recollect discussion we had on meetup day.

thanks for your time,
Sidharth and Sidharth
