[Gluster-devel] GlusterFS project contribution.

Sat Feb 17 23:48:02 UTC 2018

Hi Amar,

I've been contributing through the CentOS Storage SIG with the
GlusterFS Github containers repository.
Have created a new Dockerfile for image creation to run containers on
CentOS 7 with GlusterFS 3.13 already installed. Also sent a pull
request on Github to merge a new branch named gluster-3.13 with this
new Dockerfile included. Tested on Centos 7 release 7.4.1708 (Core)
with kernel 3.10.0-693.17.1.el7.x86_64 and works ok:

# docker images

# docker exec -it 4e164d71256f sh
sh-4.2# glusterd -V
glusterfs 3.13.2

Will be working to create a Vagrant Box and VirtualBox VM wirh
GlusterFS just installed, and see how can I provide them to other
users who may want to give them a try.

You talk about the wireshark dissector for Gluster's 4.0 protocol, can
you give me a liitle more information on how can I work on this to see
if I can help?

Thanks for your kindattention.

Regards,

Javier Romero
