[Gluster-users] Problems with Glusterfs and OpenVz

[Amar Tumballi]

Hi Alessandro,

We found that there are some issues with 'gf_log' format in few of the
corner case logs. They are being reviewed, once they are inside the
repository, I will let you know. Can you send the log for this crash? so we
can be sure its fixed when we make next release?

Regards,
Amar
