[Gluster-users] 3.2.1 - sometimes network outages

[Burnash, James]

Hi Christopher.

Given that RedHat/CentOS follow their own kernel numbering, it's hard to compare directly ... I guess if you look at the release dates for your version and CentOS 5.5 it might give you some idea if they are from the same time period, perhaps ...
