[Gluster-users] Problem with glusterd locks on gluster 3.6.1

[B.K.Raghuram]

Thanks a lot Atin,

The problem is that we are using a forked version of 3.6.1 which has been
modified to work with ZFS (for snapshots) but we do not have the resources
to port that over to the later versions of gluster.

Would you know of anyone who would be willing to take this on?!

Regards,
-Ram
