[Gluster-users] systemd kill mode

[Strahil Nikolov]

I'm not a gluster developer and I haven't taken that decision.
As we are talking about storage - it's better to play safe and avoid any risks . Imagine a distributed volume and you restart the service instead of reload ... Data will be unavailable and the situation can go ugly.

Starting up daemons in one systemd unit and killing them with another is
a bit weird? Can't a reconfigure happen through a ExecReload? Or let the
management daemon and the actual brick daemons run under different
systemd units?

Thanks, that should fix the issue too.
